LSSS FOSTER/ADOPTION OFFICE IN LUBBOCK

Wednesday, September 12, 2007, marked the grand opening of the Lubbock Foster Care and Adoptions Office of Lutheran Social Services of the South, Inc. (LSSS).  The office officially opened on August 15, 2007, in the second floor of Wedgewood South Assisted Living Facility and quickly outgrew the space available. 

On June 5, 2009, a formal ribbon-cutting was held for their new offices at 2407 20th Street in Lubbock.  The Lubbock Office serves a 150-mile radius of Lubbock, and their goal is to ultimately serve approximately 100 children referred by Child Protective Service.  As of June 15, 2009, 20 families were caring for 40 children between the ages of 0 and 18 years.  More foster families are desperately needed to care for the children in need of temporary and permanent homes.  They also welcome donations of clothing, car seats, cribs, and volunteers to help with their programs. 

The mission of the Family Services Division of LSSS is to promote the well-being of children and families.  To do this, they provide a continuum of care to children through foster care, foster-to-adopt, adoption, unplanned pregnancy, and residential treatment programs.  The Lubbock Foster Care and Adoption Office is a part of meeting that LSSS mission. 

The office is staffed with:
