kinship – Embrace Texas

Embrace is an AMAZING organization that not only supports families within the child welfare system but also the CPS caseworkers. I have had the opportunity to work with Embrace as a caseworker and as a community partner. Embrace has provided the families on my caseload with furniture, basic need items and so much more. Several young adults on my caseload, were able to benefit from Embrace's graduation parties and first apartment kits. Embrace has been a blessing to our community and the many families that they serve.

Embrace Texas is an amazing organization that has been a blessing to hundreds of children and families across Texas and the country. They are a huge support to foster and adoptive families and wealth of knowledge for those considering becoming one of those families.

Embrace does such an amazing job loving on foster/adopt families and kids. I have really enjoyed their Moms Retreat, among other services, which have been absolutely invaluable during our journey. During their Respite/family events, I know that my children's unique needs will be taken care of and treated with dignity.

I first became aware of Embrace 5 years ago when I was an advocate for a newborn little girl who had heart issues. She had undergone heart surgery and was medically fragile. CPS was having difficulty finding a placement for her. I went to Embrace asking for their help and before I got home, at least 5 foster families had called me offering aid. She and her twin, as well as an older sibling, were fostered then adopted by an Embrace family. Embrace is a wonderful Christian organization.

Embrace is a fantastic organization that provides much needed resources to foster and adoptive families. The staff is delightful and truly care about the people they work with. The organization is a blessing to the community it serves.

I have been volunteering with Embrace Texas helping to host their Grad Party for several years. Every single person as Embrace pours so much of their hearts into making sure the event is fun and educational! The young adults who attend leave the event knowing they have a support system and with knowledge of the many resources available to them that want to help them to thrive in their next steps. It’s one of my favorite events of the year!

I've been working with this non-profit for years, and truly believe in their story and vision of helping at-risk children and their caregivers across North Texas. The staff is absolutely wonderful, and I am so excited to continue volunteering / helping at their events.

Embrace Texas is all the things a nonprofit should be in the community. Denise and her team at Embrace continue to find creative and cool ways to serve foster and adoptive families. I was able to witness the time, attention, and compassion that they provide to parents and guardians considering the adoption process. I will always be thankful to Denise for the support she showed my dear friend and the many others serving as foster and adoptive families.
