Buckner Foster Care & Domestic Adoption - Lubbock

Buckner Foster Care and Adoption is a ministry of Buckner International, a global faith-based organization dedicated to transforming the lives of the most vulnerable children, families and elders. Established by R.C. Buckner in 1879, Buckner is one of the oldest and most unique faith-based service organizations of its kind, serving more than 350,000 people each year in the United States and seven countries worldwide. The earliest record of adoption services provided by Buckner was dated 1884. Full records are on file for adoptions facilitated since the 1940s. At that time, and through the 1980s, Buckner was mostly placing infants with Christian families. In 1995, Buckner began international adoption services, then in 2002 Buckner partnered with the State of Texas to place the thousands of children waiting in foster care into permanent families. Throughout our history, we have had the privilege of placing more than 4,000 children in loving adoptive homes.
