The Adoption
Process

 


Spaulding for Children is a unique agency. We are dedicated to building and sustaining strong, nurturing families for children who have endured abuse, neglect or abandonment. We do this by placing abused and neglected children with permanent adoptive families and providing ongoing support after placement. We place children with physical, mental or emotional disabilities, older children, minority children and sibling groups. And, we charge no fees to our families.

From the initial application to after-placement support, Spaulding for Children works very closely with the adoptive family to determine the needs of the child and the family's ability to meet those needs. We share videos, pictures and histories of the child and provide adoption preparation classes as well as opportunities to network with other adoptive families and support groups.

If you think adoption through Spaulding for Children may be right for you and you live in the Houston area, complete our questionnaire or contact us. Spaulding serves families in the following counties: Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Walker, Waller and Wharton.
