Arms Wide Adoption Services

Mission and Vision

Arms Wide Adoption Services’ mission is to transform the lives of children in Houston and South Texas that are in need of safe and nurturing permanent families.

Our vision is for all children to be loved within a home and all families to feel supported.

About Us

At Arms Wide Adoption Services, we begin with the child in mind. Each child is unique and the journey to finding the right family and home can be unpredictable. We expertly guide Greater Houston and South Texas families through the foster care, adoption, and kinship care processes, connecting each child to the best permanent family to meet the child’s needs. We are the exclusive provider of our Regions’ Post-Adoption and Post-Permanency services, and we are committed to supporting families beyond their adoption and permanency finalization. No matter where the path leads, Arms Wide honors the story of every family and celebrates with a family fulfilled.

Our professional staff embraces each family with warmth and compassion and holds their hand through the process, whether they are coming for foster care, adoption, kinship care or post adoption services.
