Where do the children placed with Covenant Kids come from?
Children come to Covenant Kids through Child Protective Services (CPS). CPS is the agency through the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services that receives and investigates referrals of abuse and/or neglect from the public. If it is determined from an investigation that a child has been abused and/or neglected, and the parents or guardians of the child have been determined as unable to provide a safe environment for the child, CPS may remove the child from his/her birth home. The State of Texas , through CPS, then becomes the legal guardian of the child. CPS then seeks a foster home as a temporary placement for the child.
