Foster Texas, LLC is a licensed child-placing agency that serves families in Central Texas (including Austin, Waco, and Bryan/College Station). The agency supports foster care, kinship placements, and adoption by guiding families through licensing, training, placement, and post-adoption services.





Foster Texas is a licensed child-placing agency that works with families to provide foster, kinship, and adoptive homes across multiple Texas regions. The agency facilitates placements ranging from short-term emergency care to permanent adoptive arrangements and offers ongoing support for families and children throughout the process.
The agency outlines a multi-step process for prospective foster and adoptive families: initial contact and information, state-required pre-service training (about 30 hours, offered online), a home study and licensing process that includes paperwork and background checks, and matching once a family is licensed. Each family is assigned a caseworker and has access to ongoing training, 24/7 support, and respite resources.
Adoption assistance information references benefits such as Medicaid coverage for the adopted child, reimbursement of certain one-time adoption expenses, and monthly adoption assistance payments that are determined based on the child’s needs and family circumstances. Post-adoption services listed include information and referral, casework and service planning, parent groups, parenting programs, counseling, respite care, residential placement services in critical situations, and crisis intervention; availability depends on funding and the specific child and family situation.
