Where do the foster children who are placed with Kornerstone come from?
Child Protective Services (CPS) is one division of The Texas Department of Family and Protective (TDFPS). CPS is the state agency 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 their birth home. The State of Texas , through CPS, then becomes the legal guardian of the child, or in legal terms, they’re Temporary Managing Conservator. Kornerstone has a contract with CPS for both foster care and adoption. CPS refers children to Kornerstone for placement.
