History
Arms Wide Adoption Services was originally established in 1977 in Houston, Texas as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization under its parent organization, the Christian Child Help Foundation, to launch a program to aid the overwhelming number of children who were removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect and placed in the protective custody of the State of Texas' foster care system. In 1980, the agency changed its name to Spaulding for Children, received its own Child Placement License and became an autonomous, secular agency with its own Governing Board of Directors. In 2000, Spaulding for Children merged with the Christian Child Help Foundation, absorbing its parent organization. In 2017, Spaulding for Children rebranded as Arms Wide Adoption Services. We are incredibly proud of the reputation we built with the Spaulding for Children name - expertly finding children the right family and permanent home through a personal and honest approach. We did this successfully for 40 years,
