Austin Adoption
Over 60% of children who are adopted from the foster-care system are adopted by their foster parents. Many parents enter foster parenting hoping to eventually add to their family through adoption; others find that a foster child had just become an irreplaceable part of their home. Some parents desire to adopt a child whose parents’ rights are already terminated and are waiting in a foster-home for a family who can offer them a family and home for a lifetime. The Settlement Home adoption program offers our adoptive parents pre-adoption training and walks with our families through the homestudy and matching process, the first months of adjustment in the home, and helps our families navigate through the legal process to finalize the adoption.
