Foster families are licensed through the methodist children's home, which is licensed by the texas department of family and protective services and accredited by the council on accreditation. Staff members carefully plan for the child's care, monitor progress and adjustment to the foster home setting, support the foster family through frequent telephone calls and vists, and plan for the child's eventual return to the home or alternate permanent placement.
