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. On June 5, 2009, a formal ribbon-cutting was held for their new offices at 2407 20th Street in Lubbock; those offices have now been outgrown, and plans are underway to dedicate a portion of Wedgewood South Assisted Living for use by the Foster Care and Adoption Program. 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 January 31, 2011, 16 families were caring for 39 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:

The following information was received May 5, 2011 from Kristy Simpson, LSSS Staff: The wild winds sweeping through the South Plains couldn't keep our supporters away on Friday night as we celebrated our 20th Annual Spring Fling. Despite the 50mph gusts, McPherson Cellars Winery was packed with patrons enjoying delicious food and wines while bidding on one-of-a-kind auction items. We were blown over by the generosity of our friends who collectively gave more than $60,000 to Lutheran Social Services' Lubbock area ministries. Thanks to the generous spirits and open hearts of our supporters, Neighborhood House, Health for Friends Clinic, Wedgewood South Assisted Living, and LSS foster care and adoption can continue to support the Lubbock community with quality, Christian care.
