About Us

Buckner Foster Care and Adoption Services is a ministry grounded in Christian principles which believes foster care and adoption are a profound way to change a child’s life forever. Our staff of licensed, experienced social workers have a commitment to personal relationships and emotional support for foster and adoptive parents, birth parents and the children we serve. And our commitment to help you ‘Be a Family’ means that we provide comprehensive services throughout your experiences.

Throughout our history, we’ve had the privilege of placing more than 4,000 children in loving adoptive homes through services designed to fit each families’ specific needs to adopt an infant or older child from the United States or internationally.

Buckner Foster Care and Adoption is part of Buckner International, a diverse global ministry dedicated to the restoration and healing of individuals and the family. In carrying out its services, Buckner adheres to Christian principles delivered with professional competence.

Established in 1879, Buckner has answered the needs of others throughout our history. We carry out our ministries to children through Buckner Children and Family Services, a globally oriented ministry that reflects our response to children in need through a global humanitarian aid program, volunteer missions opportunities, community enrichment and prevention programs, an international network of residential, foster care and transition services, domestic and international adoption, and support programs for children living in orphanages in other countries.
