Adoption
TBHC has been licensed with Texas Department of Family Services for adoption since 2002. We work with families from the DFW area, Permian Basin, and East Texas. These children are currently waiting in the foster care system, whose parental rights have been terminated, and are looking for their forever home.
GET IN TOUCH
Most of the children waiting for adoption are part of sibling groups or are older children, with the average age being 9 or older.
The training and paperwork required to become a verified adoptive family are offered at no cost. However, this does not include CPR and First Aid certification or a few additional items needed to prepare your home for verification. On average, families spend between $200 and $600 getting their home ready for foster care or adoption.
Families interested in matched adoption for younger children need to be open to adopting children who are at least 8 years old.
We require all families to be open to sibling group placements of 2 or more. If you are hoping to adopt children under the age of 8, you will need to begin as a foster parent. If the child becomes available for adoption, the case may transition to a foster-to-adopt placement. To learn more about this program and to understand why these requirement are in place, please attend one of our information meetings found on the Event Page.
