Thinking About Fostering or Adopting? We’re Here to Help!
We work alongside trusted agencies throughout Region 8 who are ready to support you in your journey. We encourage you to explore the options available and choose the organization that best aligns with your values and goals.
While THRU Project is not a child placing agency (CPA), the Heart Gallery of South Central Texas serves as your go-to resource hub for learning how to become licensed for foster-to-adopt.
What Is a Child Placing Agency (CPA)?
A Child Placing Agency is a private foster and/or adoption agency that partners with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to:
- Train and verify foster and adoptive parents
- Match children in DFPS conservatorship with loving families
- Provide support and services throughout the placement process
These agencies typically offer services at minimal cost to families who foster or adopt children in state care.
Join a Fostering Communities Information Session
To learn more about the requirements for becoming a verified foster parent or approved adoptive parent, we invite you to attend one of our Fostering Communities Information Sessions:
- 2nd & 3rd Tuesday of the Month from 6:00-7:30PM– Virtual Sessions
- 4th Tuesday of the Month from 6:00-7:30PM – In-Person Sessions
These sessions offer detailed information about local CPAs and their licensing processes and give you the opportunity to connect directly with representatives who can answer your questions.
