Hi! my husband and I have been foster parents for over three years and this is our passion. We have four kids right now, 4, twins that are 2, and 7 month old that will be leaving March 7 to go home to her mom.

We are with Arrow Children and family ministries. http://www.arrow.org

Fostering is so rewarding and we have even opened a non-profit chariy to help support foster families and kids in care. There are so many kids that need homes right now!

Hi R.,
Our family has been fostering for over 2 years now with an agency called Covenant Kids. We have a 5 year son and are currently "Mom & Dad" to two boys aged 2 and 3. Covenant Kids is based in Arlington and Plano and are a very Christ centered organisation. Here is their website: http://www.covenantkids.org/home.php
They will do all your Training, Home Study and get you Licensed in about 4 months. This cost you nothing. They are desparate for Foster only homes as well as Foster to Adopt. If you decide to call them, tell them H. in Frisco, told you about them. Hope that helps. If you want to "Chat" email me directly at ____@____.com.
