As a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency, A World For Children contracts with and is licensed by the State of Texas to provide foster and foster-to-adopt services for abused and neglected children across the State. Our agency began in 1997 with a single office in Round Rock. Today, while our corporate office remains in Round Rock, A World For Children is now represented across the State, with 13 offices in the following locations: Amarillo, Brownsville, Brownwood, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, McAllen, Round Rock, San Antonio, Tyler, Victoria and Wichita Falls. Our extensive reach allows foster parents in all areas of the State to have an office close to their home to provide any support they may need.
At A World For Children, we pride ourselves on being more than simply a corporation—we’re one big extended family.
“What does it mean to be a foster parent with the A World For Children foster care agency? To us, it means having total support from the committed staff of this agency. It also means that each foster child in our care, through this agency, will not only get a loving home but also many opportunities to live as much normal a life as feasibly possible to have fun and go places…
As foster parents, we are thankful for this God given opportunity to have us open the door to our home, and our hearts to that scared face; that forced smile, that teary eye, that trembling body; a child worth loving. Fostering is neither an easy task nor a guarantee for a 100% success with every child. But giving up is not an option, it’s something worth pursuing. Family reunification is our goal but when that fails, we are there. They know someone cares!
Our reward is just to simply see each of them laugh at silly things; having them look forward to foster dad’s daily home cooked breakfast; seeing them rush home to show off the good grades on their school progress reports; but, most of all, is seeing a new light of hope in their eyes.”
