Lifetree Adoption Agency, LLC
Adoption is a beautiful process; nevertheless, it is often misunderstood. Many view adoption as shameful, or as a dishonorable act of love, when it is really love in the purest form. Adoptions consist of love that extends from the heart, not the mind.
Choosing adoption is not chosen due to a lack of love, it is chosen because of your profound love for your child. In many ways adoption parallels the adoption process we have encountered with God. He sacrificed His Son so that we could have eternal life. You sacrifice your parental rights so that your child can have opportunities that you cannot provide at this time in your life and so that Adoptive Families can become that “mom” or “dad” they so desire.
Adoption is helping Adoptive Families fulfill their dreams of having children. Having children has been unattainable for many of these families, try as they might. Many couples have been on an infertility roller coaster and their only hope of having a family is through adoption.
The adoption process may be difficult for some people to understand, but it is important to see the long term beauty of this choice – for everyone involved.

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.

Big fan of Lifetree and the amazing work they do. Robin has always been such an amazing person at making me feel welcome and heard. Thank you for all that you do! I wish there were ways that I could help more or people I could share my story with. Please reach out Robin if you ever need anything!

When I found out I was pregnant, I thought it was the end of the world and I was so scared, until I picked up the phone and called Lifetree. I am so BLESSED to have had Lifetree by my side during my pregnancy. I didn't feel like a "client," or somebody who was just there to give someone else a baby. As a birth mom, I could not have asked for a better experience. They took care of me and made sure all my needs have been met since the very beginning. I never felt like I was alone, and I still don't. My life has changed in so many great ways. I never thought I could feel so appreciated and loved by such amazing people. I wouldn't change a thing about my journey with Lifetree.

We adopted our daughter through Lifetree several years ago. Robin is absolutely the best! Lifetree really cares about the Birth and Adoptive Families. They are there to walk you through the process and are available when you just need an update. A lot of agencies will say "don't call us, we'll call you" but Robin was welcoming a phone call just to touch base. She was encouraging and open and always made us feel like we were in excellent hands. We also really loved the way Lifetree cares for the Birth Moms. It was important to know that our daughter's First Mom was being loved on and supported in every way. I can't recommend Lifetree enough. If you're the kind of family that wants someone to be on the journey with you every step of the way, then you need to give Robin a call!

Robin and Lauren at Lifetree made our adoption process so amazing! We had a very untraditional situation and got a placement early and unexpectedly but they made the transition so much easier on us. Every questioned was answered throughout the entire process and we never felt alone. One of my favorite things about Lifetree was seeing how they care so much about both sides of the adoption. We are so grateful for them helping us complete our family!
