Little Flower Adoptions
Little Flower Adoptions is a Texas-licensed child placing agency: Adoption Home Study Services, Adoptive Parent Preparation/Education, Post-Placement Services, Identified Adoptions, and Birth Parent Services.Little Flower Adoptions is owned by Kris Miller, M.Ed, LPC. She has been the Executive Director and Licensed Child-Placing Administrator since the inception of the agency.
Little Flower Adoptions has been a licensed adoption agency since 2001. We have assisted hundreds of birth mothers with making an adoption plan for their babies and hundreds of adoptive parents with building their families through adoption.
We work a little differently than most adoption agencies. While traditional adoption agencies specialize in matching birth parents with prospective adoptive parents, Little Flower Adoptions primarily works pre-matched cases. So, if you are a prospective adoptive parent working with a Texas birth mother, we are your agency. We will ensure your case meets all licensing standards and legal requirements. We will also ensure that you, whether you are a birth mother or adopting parent, are supported and guided through this process and that the case is in the best interest of the baby.

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.

Little Flower Adoptions gave me the most beautiful experience in placing my child for adoption. They were always there for ME and by my side.
They consistently gave me time for phone calls with any and all questions, and some times would even listen to me vent and talk.
They were THERE and made me feel loved.

We reached out to Kris for our 2nd adoption because we were unhappy with how our 1st adoption was handled elsewhere and we are so glad that we did. Even with COVID, everything was taken care of on time and there was never an issue. They were available immediately when I needed them and were more reasonably priced than other agencies I’ve been in contact with! Best decision we could’ve made when expanding our family another time!

If I could give them 10 stars I would. We were working with another private agency and used Kris for our home study. When we were matched with our birth mom our agency was unable to assist with the placement and in came Little Flowers to the rescue. With not much time to get everything done Kris stepped in and made the process seamless. Three short weeks later our little boy arrived thanks to Kris and Little Flower being on top of everything we had the most wonderful experience meeting our little boy. Everything was perfect and smooth.
Working with Kris was such a pleasure. She answered all of questions and helped us understand what can be a very confusing process. She was always just a phone call away with words of wisdom and reassurance. Having her support made this emotional experience a little easier.

We’ve had nothing but good experiences working with Kris and her team. She is very knowledgeable and was always very receptive to any question we had, even 18 months after working with her.

If I could get ten stars I would. The team at LFA were extremely professional, courteous, and genuinely cared for every person involved with this major life-changing event. I cannot recommend Little Flower highly enough if you are looking for an adoption agency to work with in Texas.
