New Life Adoptions
New Life Adoptions is a non-profit, Christian ministry to women in unintended pregnancies and a licensed adoption agency. We provide life-affirming alternatives and practical assistance through free guidance, education, and unplanned pregnancy options.
Committed to the Biblical truths regarding the sanctity of life, we believe that every child is a miracle from God and deserves the opportunity of life. Bringing a new life into this world is not without difficulties, and we lovingly and unconditionally provide client care, personal support, factual information and adoption services. We also refer women to the appropriate services to meet their individual needs.

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 am a birth mom that decided to place my son up for adoption with this agency and all I can say is that they never pressured me to do anything I was not willing to do. They helped me choose great adoptive parents and I get updates about my child every month and always get invited to events they are having. They have been nothing but helping and kind to me and I thank God they offer open adoptions. Feel free to look me up on Facebook and I'll give you more info on my experience with new life. I know my child is in good hands and look forward to watching him grow with an amazing family that will give him all the love and attention I would and much more. Thank you new life!

to all expecting mother considering adoption, please do not trust this agency at all. No matter how friendly and “Christian” they portray themselves to be. What they are doing behind closed doors to birth mothers does not represent Christ at all and it is illegal. They will do everything possible, by all means to satisfy the paying clients (potential adoptive parents). This agency will lie against you if you decide to expose them for who they truly are. Have your own lawyer present at all times when dealing with this agency, especially concerning all paperworks. This agency will omit vital information and they will use “faith” as a means to steer you towards adoption. The same people who are encouraging you to choose adoption, are the same people who have never given up their child for adoption, have never been adopted themselves and etc. They want to encourage you to do something they will never do themselves. They will exploit you at a time you are most vulnerable and emotional. To my expecting mothers, you are more than capable of caring for your child that God is blessing you with. You becoming pregnant at a time that you did not expect is not a “crisis”. With God all things are possible. Do not allow a temporary situation that you may find yourself in, make you feel that you are incapable of being a suitable mother to your child. Do not allow anyone to pressure you into doing anything. This agency does benefit financially when a child is placed, so please keep that in mind. Please do your own research on your rights and consult with your own lawyer because this agency will verbally fail to tell you anything when it comes to the legal aspect of everything. They will not go over any important documents with you. They have done this in the past and they are still doing it now. I do not want any other mother/expecting mother to be taken advantage of. Please stand up for yourself.

We had a positive experience with New Life. I'm comfortable recommending them to friends interested in adoption.
