can i adopt through embrace?

Embrace is not a child placing agency. This means we do not license families to foster or adopt and do not place children in homes. We help foster and adoptive families, no matter when/where/how they care for children build a supportive community and find the belonging and encouragement they need on this journey. The DFW area is home to many wonderful child placing and adoption agencies to choose from.
