Foster & adoptive parent training

Foster care & adoption 101 meetings.

The first step in providing a forever family for a child featured in the Heart Gallery is partnering with a child-placing agency and completing a home study. Learn more about the foster care adoptive process and how to begin by attending a training through The Fostering Collective.

Additional workshops.

Heart Galleries of Texas is offering a 3-part caregiver training series, presented over 3 months, to foster parents, adoptive parents, and kinship caregivers on the adoption process. Caregiver trainings provide knowledge, support, and guidance to caregivers to help them explore adoption and what it means for them and their family. We encourage caregivers to attend each session at a date that best works for them as the sessions will cover different topics. All training sessions will be offered on three different dates.

Additionally, the Child Welfare Education Collaboration is offering a 2-day virtual workshop on Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) to foster and adoptive caregivers. Certificate of completion will be provided to caregivers after the training.
