From Foster Care to Family: Finding Hope, Love, and Trust

Foster care and adoption can change the course of a young person’s life—especially for a teenager waiting for a safe, permanent home. In this powerful testimonial, a young person shares how Kids First Inc., Carla, and his adoptive family helped him move through anger and abandonment and rediscover hope, love, and trust.

His family also describes the guidance they received from the beginning, including a dedicated caseworker, helpful resources, and ongoing support just a phone call away. Their story is a moving reminder that foster and adoptive parents do not have to navigate the journey alone.

Kids First Inc. prepares and supports foster and adoptive families in Fort Worth, Dallas, Denton, and surrounding North Texas communities.

We have had an incredible experience with KFI as our foster care agency. From day one, they have made us feel like part of a family rather than just another foster home. The support they provide throughout every placement has been outstanding.

One of the things we appreciate most is their responsiveness. Whether it’s a simple question, a placement-related concern, or an unexpected situation, someone is always available to help. Knowing that we have access to 24/7 support gives us tremendous peace of mind and allows us to focus on caring for the children in our home.

Foster care can be challenging, but having a team that genuinely cares, checks in regularly, and advocates for both the children and foster families makes all the difference. We are incredibly grateful for their guidance, encouragement, and commitment to the families they serve.

We highly recommend this agency to anyone considering becoming a foster parent.
