In the state of Texas, thousands of children are removed from their initial home for various of reasons. The most common reasons is due to sever phsical, sexual, emotional abuse and/or neglect. Children are removed for their protection and saftey. Once removed, the Department of Family & Protective Services, for example, depend on agencies such as, A Divine Connection Child Placing Agency, to place the children in safe, well-protected and nurturing foster homes. In the event, that the biological parent(s) fulfill all requirements and can show that he/she can resonsibily care for the child then the child(ren) will be returned. Next of Kin are also an option, however if there is no next-of-kin willing or able to adequately care for the child and the biological parent(s) are unable to care for the child(ren), the child(ren) will remain in Foster Care. Furthermore, if the biological parent(s) rights are terminated by the courts, the child(ren) become adoptable.

Schedule your consultation TODAY! A Divine Connection Child Placing Agency is here and ready to help you with every step in the process! Once the application is submitted, ADC will be in touch with you to schedule interviews, trainings and a home visit. Many trainings will occur before a child is placed to ensure the foster parents have the necessary tools and knowledge to manage children with a history of trauma. Safety and operating within State requirements are two of our goals, which can be a lengthy process. A person typically becomes a foster parent within 60-90 days.

Understanding the unique needs of youth who have experienced trauma, ADC will assign a case manager to each foster home. The case managers work directly with families and children develop effective coping skills to deal with daily stressors. Families are also provided training and outings throughout the year to help build their knowledge and skills.
