Foster Care

A Commitment of Love

Foster Care arranges substitute family care for children and youth needing temporary placement outside of their home.

The Texas Baptist Home is licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (TDFPS) as a Child Placing Agency. It provides both basic and therapeutic foster care for boys and girls of all ages.

We contract  services of levels of care for Basic, Moderate, Specialized, and Intensive children with TDFPS and Juvenile Probation. Private placements are considered on a limited basis through our Private Adoption Program.

The Texas Baptist Home Foster Care Program is funded by the Baptist Missionary Association of Texas, the Southern Baptist of Texas Convention, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, churches, businesses, and other loving individuals.
