Why should I become a foster parent in Texas?

There are over 27,000 youth currently in the Texas foster care system who need safe, stable, and loving homes. Foster parents provide critical support for children who cannot live with their birth parents due to neglect, abuse, or exploitation.

The Need

The Need for Foster Families

Every child deserves a safe and loving home — a place where they can grow, learn, and thrive. However, the reality is that there are many children in our community who do not have this opportunity. The need for foster families is both urgent and essential.

Many children enter foster care due to family disruptions, such as parental substance abuse, incarceration, or homelessness.
Some children are removed from their homes because of safety concerns, including physical or emotional abuse.
Neglect, which includes insufficient food, shelter, or supervision, is another common reason for placement in foster care.
