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.

My husband and I have adopted both of our beautiful children (unrelated biologically) through Lifetree. We had incredible, fast, personal experiences with each even though they were very different circumstances. We absolutely love the focus on sweet birth mothers and how they are continually ministered to even after placement. We thank God for the women we have worked with at the agency and we have already confidently recommended them to four of our friends and their families and will continue to do so for others. We plan to adopt our future children and will do so through Lifetree again, and we can't wait!
