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 would describe my experience with Special Delivery as Bitter Sweet when I first contacted the agency I was welcomed with open arms everyone was amazing they went above and beyond to make sure had any and everything I could possibly need or want they had many wonderful families to choose from I soon chose a couple who I thought would be perfect but I would soon find out that everything that glitters ain't gold I spent 3 long days in labor with the agency and the soon to be new parents by my side every step of the way I finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy I have no regrets and if I could do it again I would although it was very hard carrying a baby for 9 months and going home without him I was able to live happily with knowing that I gave him a wonderful life and I was able to be a blessing to someone else things were as promised after the adoption I received pictures and was able to stay in contact with the family through the agency but that only lasted a short while I was soon told by the agency that they would not longer be involved with me receiving any pictures or anything and that I would have to reach out to the family who adopted the child so that's what I did respectfully not wanting to disturb their peace after all it was a open adoption so I certainly didn't think anything of it but when I did I was rudely hung up on once they heard my name and shortly after being hung up on they sent a text telling me not to contact them unless it was through the agency I was a little upset and felt very disrespected but I still wanted to respect their wishes long story short is til this day I have recieved no more pictures and have heard nothing I tried to call the agency this morning as a matter of fact and was hung up on by Cindy it's like no one cares or even knows who I am now it's not a good feeling at all I wouldn't recommend this agency to anyone seeking adoption because the way I have been treated is horrible and that's not something that I would want anyone to go through I feel really disrespected and used

Words cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with Special Delivery for our first adoption. We plan to adopt again through Special Delivery in the future and highly recommend them to anyone searching for an agency as a potential birth mother or adoptive parent.
