The children we feature are in the care of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services due to abuse and neglect. Families who adopt children through the agency should have an understanding or be willing to learn the dynamics of abuse and neglect.
The parental rights of these children have been terminated; therefore we are seeking an adoptive family for them. The children we feature are all ages, races, and ethnicities. The biggest population of children in foster care are sibling groups and school-age children.
If you have an approved home study to adopt, please email it to hello@heartgallerynorthtexas.org. Be sure to include the child's name you are interested in the subject line.
If you do not have an approved home study, here is how to get the process started:
