Foster Care & Adoption Ministry

There are hundreds of children who must be placed in foster care for their own safety. However, there are very few homes providing them the care and nurturing that they so desperately need. These children have suffered abuse and neglect, and need a safe, secure place to heal. Currently, these children are placed all over the state. Leaving their schools, friends and familiar surroundings compounds the trauma they have already experienced. There are children throughout Collin County and North Texas awaiting a permanent and loving home. Partnering with the Collin County Children's Advocacy Center, our hope is to facilitate opportunities to help these children desperately need the support and love of a family. To learn more about becoming a foster or adoptive parent or to find out about the location and dates of the next foster/adopt information meeting or expo, please call 972-633-6600 or visit www.cacplano.org.
