Arlington District Placement Initiative The Arlington District Placement Initiative is a
public/private collaboration to develop and implement a coordinated plan
to address the continuum of placement needs to find ample safe and loving
families for the children who are in the court system due to child abuse
or neglect. This partnership
is open to any child placing or associated agencies that wish to
participate in this initiative and are willing to commit support to the
initiative as outlined. Our mission is to assist partner agencies in
recruiting, training, and retaining foster families and child-placement
staff in an efficient and effective manner.
For a family interested in fostering or adopting, the first step is
to ask for an information packet either on line (www.kidsincourt.org) or
by calling the North Texas Regional Hotline at 1-800-228-8226.
After attending a Public Information Meeting, a family will choose
from among the partner agencies and continue the process of training and
licensing through their chosen agency.
Each agency has a unique mission in the foster/adopt area, so
families interested in fostering and/or adopting should carefully consider
their agency choice. The members of this Arlington District Placement Initiative include: Angelheart Child Placing Agency Buckner Adoption and Maternity Services Buckner Children and Family Services Dallas Metrocare Services - Treatment of Foster Care Hope Cottage Pregnancy and Adoption Center Letot Center (Program of Dallas County Juvenile Department) Lutheran Social Services of the South, Inc. Pathways Youth & Family Services, Inc. SAFY - Specialized Alternatives for Families and Youth of Texas Texas MENTOR, Alliance Adolescent and Children's Services
