We have trained counselors available to offer support to you and your child/ren throughout this process.

We also offer a consult with a licensed attorney, if you have legal questions. And we can connect you with others who have been through this, too, if you’d like. We’re here for you, and will be, as long as you need us.

Seven Core Issues in Adoption & Permanency

Adoption is never the only possible choice, and it is irreversible once done, so please do not choose a permanent solution if you are seeking only a temporary fix. If you are in crisis, you may also find alternatives to placement through Pathways, Children’s Shelter of San Antonio ; Saving Our Sisters; or Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren.
