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.

I was adopted in 1988 through these people and I can't seem to get a hold of anyone to get information about my biological family.......keep trying I guess

I placed my daughter through Hope Cottage in 1989. The agency was professional then and stood by the wishes of both parties involved, to insure the child recieves the best care. They check and recheck the potentual adoptive parents - to be confident of whom the child may go to. I as the birth mother chose who I wanted to be the parents of my baby girl. I highly recommend Hope Cottage for there caring, ethics and support.

Takes an infant out a loving extended family home to give to strangers. Even CPS said what they were doing was wrong and wasn't in the best interests of the child. Guess they cared more about the money than a baby being with family who wanted and loved him. Disgusting!

Hope Cottage has been nothing less then professional. I love that they care so deeply about all involved in the adoption process. The extra TLC that they have in place for both birth parents and adoptive families is top notch. I love how they communicated with us every step of the way. I feel like they are "family" now and look forward their trainings and post adopt group meet ups.
