Kinship care allows children to be placed with relatives after being removed from the home. Kinship care is always the first choice because it is proven that kids have better success rates when they are with people they know. Kinship care also allows foster parents to receive financial help, resources, community, and more so that they can care for the children. So often families walk this road alone. Buckner wants to help empower you so children can remain with their relatives and begin to thrive in a stable, loving environment.

Right now, there are over 500 children over the age of 13 waiting for adoption. These are kids who, by no fault of their own, need a safe place to call home. The statistics are staggering for youth who age out of foster care, but loving families can make a difference.

If you’ve ever thought about adoption, consider adopting a teenager. We have virtual information meetings where you can learn more about adoption and our organization.

We promise to walk beside you with counseling, resources, and more as we work together to provide loving homes to deserving kids.

This last Saturday, our Buckner postadoption team along with our East Texas adoption team held a TBRI Family Fun Event at the Ellen Trout Zoo in Lufkin thanks to the Region 5 Heart Gallery of Southeast Texas grant.

They were able to lead a training on Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the needs of children who have come from hard places. This training provides our caregivers the practical tools to see the “whole child” in their care and help each child we work with to feel valued and seen.

A huge thank you to Longview and Lufkin foster care teams and the Buckner Center for Humanitarian Aid and we look forward to hosting similar events in partnership with Heart Gallery in the future!

Less than 3% of youth who age out of foster care earn a college degree, although 70% of kids in foster care regularly say they would like to attend college one day.

Former foster youth shouldn't be left to navigate from adolescence to adulthood on their own. Our transition programs are here to help with this adjustment and to give youth the tools they need to succeed.

Curious if our educational, career, and living resources are a good fit for you? We are here to support. Visit our page for more information today: https://na2.hubs.ly/H06Q5_g0

Transitioning into adulthood can be challenging, but you don't have to do it alone. If you or someone you know aged out of foster care in Texas and are between the ages of 18 and 21, you may qualify for case management, financial support, and other valuable resources through Buckner Transition Services.

In Texas, more than 1,000 youth age out of foster care each year.

When youth age out of the foster care system between 18 to 23 years old, they are vulnerable to addiction, human trafficking and homelessness. With little support, former foster youth are left to navigate from adolescence to adulthood on their own.

For National Youth Aging Out Day, you can help by fostering or adopting a teen through Waiting Texas Children and providing mentorship for youth who may not have a positive person in their life.

To learn more, sign up for one of our virtual information meetings.
