Jonathan’s Place has been caring for abused, abandoned, and neglected children throughout North Texas for over 25 years. In order to meet the growing need for Foster and Foster-to-Adopt families our board of directors, along with various stakeholders, decided to expand our services by opening a Foster Care & Foster-to-Adopt office in downtown Ft. Worth. This new location will serve families and children in Erath, Hood, Johnson, Palo Pinto, Parker, Somervell and Tarrant counties. We are very excited to now have an office that is easily accessible to the community, families, and children of whom we serve. We are looking forward to expanding our partnerships and know that together we are making a difference in the lives of abused children.

Learn moreFoster-to-Adopt
Jonathan's Place Adoption program is welcoming to all families and provides specialized training and guidance to help you provide a nurturing and stable home for children who have been abused or neglected.
Learn moreHow Our Program Works
The Jonathan’s Place focuses on three key areas: recruitment, training, and support.
Recruitment
We strive to find high-quality caregivers for the children we serve. The intended result of recruitment is to find a family who is motivated and committed to providing a safe and stable environment for a child. The knowledge and skills of the foster parents are critical to the well-being of the children in their care.
Training
Our training takes a comprehensive approach and requires families to complete 35 hours of pre-service training and 40 hours of supervised observation in our emergency shelter or foster homes. Families complete annual training hours to continue their education. Our training is based on curriculum specifically designed for Jonathan’s Place.
Support
After a child is placed with a family, the goal is to provide unequaled support for the entire family. Our experienced and professional case managers are committed and available to the families. They also provide in-home services, identify community resources, and act as the liaison between the family and the CPS caseworker.
