Post Adopt Support —
Our Next Steps Program

We’re here to walk alongside you—strengthening the heart of every adoptive family with guidance, resources, and care, one step at a time.

Every Adoption Deserves a Strong Start — and Ongoing Support

Adoption begins a lifelong journey—and families deserve support at every stage. The Next Steps Program serves Region 3 families who’ve adopted through the Texas foster care system. Every member of the family—the adoptee, adoptive parents, and biological children—may need guidance and care as they adjust and grow together.

A family’s needs evolve after adoption, and we’re here for the long term—providing access to resources, community connections, and guidance to help keep families strong and thriving. Through partnerships with local and statewide organizations, Next Steps offers personalized, ongoing post-adoption support. Research shows that states with strong post-adoption services see fewer disruptions and more stable family outcomes.
