Adoption Agencies and Legacy Planning

Houston Strong Child Placement Agency, a minority-owned adoption and foster care organization, is actively involved in the legacy planning process alongside Mrs. Donna Marshall-Payne and her company Doing Far More LLC. Their participation highlights how legacy planning extends beyond financial assets to encompass emotional security and generational impact for families—especially those formed through adoption and foster care.  These important insights were shared during an interview with Roselyn Omaka and further brought to the community at the Black Entrepreneur Tour’s Spring Formal, hosted by Doing Far More LLC, where the conversation focused on building lasting legacies for all families.

How the Agency Contributes

• The agency assists families and children in the foster care system to find permanent, loving homes, emphasizing the importance of family stability as a foundational part of legacy creation.
• Legacy planning, as discussed by Marlon Randolph (Director of Operations), is not just about material inheritance but also about establishing emotional security and leaving a lasting positive imprint for future generations—values that resonate deeply with both the agency’s mission and Mrs. Donna’s approach.
• Their involvement in events like the Black Entrepreneur Tour, where they connected with Mrs. Donna, demonstrates a shared commitment to community impact and education around legacy planning.

Why Adoption Agencies Matter in Legacy Planning

• For adoptive and foster families, legacy planning includes preparing for the emotional and financial future of children who may have experienced instability, ensuring they are supported and secure even after the current caregivers are gone.
• The agency’s leadership, with experience in both social work and hospice care, advocates for comprehensive legacy planning—incorporating life insurance, emotional well-being, and continuity for children and families.

Collaborative Community Impact

• The collaboration between Doing Far More LLC and Houston Strong Child Placement Agency exemplifies a holistic approach to legacy planning, combining financial planning, emotional support, and community engagement.
• By involving adoption agencies in the legacy conversation, Mrs. Donna expands the definition of legacy to include the creation and nurturing of family bonds, not just the transfer of wealth or assets.

“That legacy piece is establishing yourself but then also establishing the generations that come behind, whether that’s from a position of life insurance, emotional security… all those different elements that bring that comfort to your loved ones when you’re no longer here and leaving your fingerprints and your footprints even when you’re gone.” — Marlon Randolph, Houston Strong Child Placement Agency
