TBHC Foster Care and Adoption has proudly served families since 1909. Headquarters is stationed in Waxahachie, Texas but we provide foster care for children in multiple areas of Texas; currently working with families in the DFW area, the Permian Basin, and East Texas. These areas are known as Permian Concho (Region 9), 3E Metro East and 3W Metro West (Region 3), Tyler (Region 4), and Lufkin (Region 5).
TBHC is licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (TDFPS) and OCOK as a Child Placing Agency. We provide both basic and therapeutic foster care and adoption. Children in foster care have predominately been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect. The initial goal for our children is reunification with their biological families or kinship placement, when possible. Unfortunately, reunification is not always successful and parental rights are removed. In this case, TBHC works with families to adopt children out of foster care.
TBHC also loves working with families through our Private Infant Adoptions department.
TBHC Foster Care and Adoption mission is caring for children and families by offering stability, discovering self-worth, and achieving true healing in Christ.
Our purpose is and has always been to Glorify God by Caring for Children
The combined effects of the current events over the last 3 years have resulted in a prolonged period of recovery and healing. Despite the pandemic, cultural unrest, and economic changes, we at TBHC have continued to provide quality care to hundreds of children. We have persevered to train and equip more foster parents to help care for children in need so that they can continue to heal. Our desire is for the children in North Texas to have a safe haven to retreat to where they can find love and know that there is hope for them. We are launching a new level of care this year, Treatment Family Foster Care (TFFC), within our agency that will help meet the highest levels of need of our community. We need funds to help this type of care grow for it to reach its full potential.
In order to achieve these goals, however, we are graciously calling on our community to increase your support. That is why we are setting our NTGD goal to raise $50,000 in one day for TBHC kids.
It costs $47 a day for children in TBHC care, $330 a week, $660 every two weeks, and about $1,500 a month. Will you consider helping a child who is in TBHC care by providing for their needs with this donation? Their needs include clothing and everyday expenses, parent respite and training, specialized therapy, and the kids' extra needs with school and summer activities. YOU can make a difference today with your donation!
It is the Texas Baptist Home's objective to provide employee training in support of the TBHC's goals, and that this training shall be available without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, age, political affiliation, veteran status, or disability according to Equal Opportunity and state and federal laws.
