TDFPS has established processes to identify and track those families and individuals interested in providing foster care and adoption services. The public through inquiries for additional information exhibits interest in fostering and adopting. Most inquiries come from two sources. The first is through telephone contact to the statewide 800-inquiry number (1-800-233-3405) or to local TDFPS offices. The second form of inquiries is through public information meetings or orientation sessions. Additional information is provided to prospective families and individuals who inquire about the foster care and adoption programs.
