Our Customer Reviews

My husband and I are coming up on our two year anniversary of starting our journey to become licensed foster parents with COC. Thankful for the guidance that Clarissa gave us through the licensing process. While getting licensed and staying licensed can be stressful and overwhelming, Clarissa makes it easier with email reminders and makes sure we are up to date. She is a kind, and friendly person to work with. Also, want to acknowledge Monica as our case manager. She’s very knowledgeable in this field and brings a very calming presence to the different emotions that foster parenting may bring. We appreciate her quickness to respond to questions and concerns no matter what time it is! She’s also the most on time person I’ve ever met, which is impressive given this line of work. Read Less

Since the first call to enquire about foster care, Circles of Care has been wonderful, personal, and professional. Our nerves and the unknowns about foster care were met with such personal care and professional information. Both of these are such a wonderful combination! They settled all the concerns and questions we had about the foster care journey. It is one of the best teams and groups of people with a depth of experience. We feel comfortable contacting any of them, when we have a question or concern. Each of them responds quickly and makes themselves available. When we were being certified, they met with us personally because we couldn’t make the set training hours due to our work schedule. Our case manager is one of a kind! She is knowledgeable, personal, helpful, experienced, and available. We can’t say enough good things about Circles of Care. We would choose them over again and again as our licensing agency!

This has been one of the best adoptive/foster agencies I have encountered. My case manger Pat goes above and beyond to assist me with anything I need. The agency itself is super supportive. I began fostering at the beginning of 2020, so I had the privilege of helping foster children, and the chaos of a pandemic. COC was there to help every step of the way. Highly recommend when you are ready to help children in need of loving foster or adoptive homes! Read Less

Thank You Circles of Care for always being there for the children Juan & Yvonne Rodriguez 10/07/2020 Read Less

Huge shout out to Circles of Care for making our licensing process great! We have fostered in the past with another agency and Circles of Care by far makes the process seam less. All trainings are laid out with the use of their webiste..so easy to enroll in the trainings at your convenience! They also offered the trainings in the evenings, which is great when you are a working family. We also received and email update of our licensing process and what items were pending so we could keep up with the process. This process requires the foster family to do work on their end while working with the staff at Circles of Care but Circles of Care makes it seam less! Thank you Kirsten for all your help and communication as we went through the licensing process, we look forward to working with everyone and hope to meet the other staff that has helped along the way as well!

Circles of Care is a fantastic foster and adoption agency! My family has been licensed with this agency for two years. In that time span we entered into a pandemic and a whole world of unknowns. During this time, every call and every email was met with care and support as well as answers to any questions we had. I whole heartedly recommend this agency. They care for the kids as well as the families. Read Less

Circles of Care is absolutely the best Foster Care Agency. We have been with them since 2018. They always answer my questions, no matter how many times I ask them. We are about to adopt with them for a second time and we couldn't be any happier with the team we have. Read Less

If even a small piece of your heart is interested in foster care or supporting foster parents/agencies, check out Circles of Care! They will help you every step of the way! We here licensed in another state and it was like five hating an uphill battle to become licensed at that location. We have always been impressed by CoC! CoC staff and case managers have always been quick to reply, supportive, and the biggest help as we have navigated the licensure and fostering process. We love our agency! Read Less

Thank you COC for always being there for our family. // COC also accepts donations of clothes and shoes for anyone that wants to help in a different way. Read Less

We have absolutely loved working with Circles of Care as foster and adoptive parents for nearly eight years. We have received over a dozen placements, and the case managers are quick and responsive when it comes to questions and concerns that arise. We have always felt supported when it comes to caring for foster children in our home. I highly recommend Circles of Care to anyone who is interested in fostering or adopting in the Rio Grande Valley. Read Less

A lot of things change when you bring a child into your life and you're really never ready to care for that child. However, Circles of Care has eased the way for a single foster parent like me. Needless to say, my experience with this agency has surpassed my expectations and love it! My case manager is attentive, caring and goes above and beyond for children placed in my household. So if you are looking to start your Foster/Adoption journey, I would definitely recommend this agency and Shantel Carter as your case manager. Read Less
