Our mission is to recruit, verify, and develop foster and adoptive families to provide safety, promote healing, and encourage permanency for abused and neglected children.
The placement of a child in a Families Especial home is viewed as the beginning of a new set of experiences. It is an opportunity for the child to begin the healing process in an atmosphere of kindness, openness, and mutual respect.
Our commitment is to the development and delivery of the highest quality therapeutic foster care. We believe that each child can expect to experience a special set of nurturing family relationships that promote healing and happiness as a natural outcome of having his/her needs met and the best possible future plans made and moved toward.
We strive to provide the children in our care with opportunities that will assist in creating positive childhood memories, confidence, and self-sufficiency in adulthood by realizing and living up to their full potential.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Adults who are new to the fostering process sometimes feel overwhelmed and wonder if they will have support on their journey. Your child-placing agency is the first resource. Social services caseworkers provide aspiring foster parents with various types of support and connections. These include free educational training programs, helplines, and support groups.
It is important that foster parents build their individual support network, too. Connecting with other foster families with more experience is an excellent place to begin. Texas groups offer foster parent meetups; you can search online for the closest one.
The Texas Foster Family Association provides state training, a regional directory of support services, a summer training conference, and more. Membership benefits include getting access to foster care professionals and learning more about ways to become better caregivers. Children of TFFA members can also get assistance through the Scholarship Fund.
Austin Angels is another support organization that strives to assist foster parents and Texas foster children. They offer care packages and gifts for foster children and their caregivers, mentorship options, and education, among other resources. Foster children and teens can learn valuable skills that help prepare them for independent living, as well.
