What We Do

Forever Families is a Texas licensed private non-profit corporation. Our goal is to find permanent families for children through adoption and provide short- or long-term homes for children in foster care. We provide services in foster home settings for dependent, neglected, adjudicated, delinquent, and maladjusted children – ages birth to 21.

Our experienced staff has worked together to build a reputation of quality service.

What is Home and Community Based Services (HCS) and Texas Home Living (TxHml)?

HCS is a Medicaid Waiver Program approved by the Health Care Financing Administration pursuant to 1915c of the Social Services Act. It provides services and supports to eligible individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities or related conditions an alternative to placement in a state hospital or nursing home setting. Services are provided to persons living in their family’s home, their own homes, foster or other community settings such as small group homes where no more than four persons live.

How do I change providers if I’m already in the program?

HCS principles state that you always have the option to transfer or choose another program provider. Contact your Case Manager and inform them of your chose. We will arrange to meet with you to discuss your needs, choices, and services.

Our Focus

With the support of our Home and Community-Based Services (HCS), we not only facilitate adoptions but also ensure that the integration into a new family is smooth, supported, and enriched by a community that cares deeply. Every step taken towards adoption through our program is a step towards a future filled with love, stability, and the joy of togetherness.

Our Services

Adopting Children with Special Needs

We offer tailored guidance and resources for families adopting children with special needs. Ensuring that children find loving homes with caregivers that are prepared to meet their unique challenges and opportunities, fostering a nurturing environment for growth and development.

Fostering Connections / Kinship Care

Fostering Connections focuses on placing children with relatives or close family friends, maintaining familial and community ties. It supports kinship caregivers with training, financial assistance, and access to community resources, strengthening the bonds that promote a child's stability and well-being.

Foster Care

Our Foster Care service provides temporary homes for children in need, offering them safety, support, and care. Foster parents receive comprehensive training and ongoing support to ensure they can meet the diverse needs of children in their care, fostering a positive and healing environment.

Adoption

Our Adoption service facilitates the process of creating permanent and loving homes for children. From initial inquiry to post-adoption support, we guide prospective parents through every step, ensuring a smooth transition for both children and families into their new lives together.

By opening our hearts and homes, we can transform the lives of children with special needs, offering them the love, care, and support they deserve. Together, we can make a world of difference.

Volunteer and Support Opportunities

There are many ways to support our mission beyond foster care and adoption. Volunteering, fundraising, and spreading awareness are just a few ways you can help make a difference in the lives of children with special needs and the families who love them.
