San Antonio Adoption Agencies

We are in the process of building our adoption agency database to help with adoption. Please be patient as we're improving our system to serve you better.

A World For Children - San Antonio

The San Antonio office opened in January of 2005 and in a very similar way to how AWFC began, with humble beginnings. Since its inception, the San Antonio office started from scratch and spent many years building relationships, getting involved in our community and, most importantly, growing our AWFC family. One of the things that is special about our San Antonio team is our tenure. Almost all of our staff have been part of the San Antonio team for 6 years or more, and almost all of our staff are bilingual. We have a team concept of “we work hard and we play hard.” Each member of the San Antonio team has extensive knowledge in working with CPS and working with other child advocates, to help ensure the success of each child that we serve. San Antonio leads the nation in teen pregnancies and also leads our state in the amount of children that are abused and neglected. This is something that simply cannot be ignored...we want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. We love our city, the culture, and we believe that child abuse is not a government problem, it’s not a particular race, or socio economic issue but rather a community issue, that can only be tackled by coming together. We have recently re-located to the Catholic Life building off 4-10 and Harry Wurzbach and we would love for you to drop by and learn more about the San Antonio AWFC team! Viva San Antonio!

Texas Foster Care and Adoption Services - San Antonio

Texas Foster Care and Adoption Services is a private non-profit child placing agency licensed by the State of Texas. The organization was formed by like-minded individuals, dedicated to the mission of making a real difference in the lives of children in the State of Texas. The number of foster children in the San Antonio and Austin area is growing more and more every year. Today more than ever, we face the growing issue of needing more foster parents in the San Antonio region. By informing people every day about the need for foster care in our area, more people will become familiar with the available programs and benefits to fostering children. We hope that more families will consider fostering children. Many people in the San Antonio region either know current or former foster children or foster families. During the last census in 2009 there were a total of 547,415 children in the United States in foster care. Over 27,000 of these children are from Texas. These numbers have increased substantially over the past two years. Foster children should be a direct concern for every tax payer because our tax dollars are used to pay for the programs used to support foster children. With an increase in education and awareness, we can stop this problem from growing and begin to resolve it. We are searching for people in the community to provide loving, nurturing and healing homes to abused and neglected children in the state of Texas. Texas Foster Care covers the Austin, San Marcos, New Braunfels, and San Antonio areas with a special emphasis on Bexar County. We are members of Interagency Foster Care Coalition.
