"A
Hundred Years From Now It Will Not Matter What My Bank Account Was,
The Sort Of House I Lived In, Or The Kind Of Car I Drove...But The World
May Be Different Because I Was Important In The Life Of A Child."
We
are not an adoption agency nor involved in placement of children for
adoption. Rather, we handle all the legal aspects of finalizing
adoptions in the following types of cases:
-
Step-Parent Adoptions (Including termination)
-
Private Adoptions
-
Adoptions through Private Adoption Agencies
-
Adoption of children placed by the Texas Department of Family and
Protective Services (DFPS)
- Please
view our brochure "Legal Proceedures
in TDPRS Adoptions" This brochure was originally prepared
to assist new adoption workers at TDPRS in understanding the legal
process of adoptions. Since the brochure contains answers to many
proceedural questions often asked of adoptive parents, we have made
it available on this website.
Getting Started
-
When you
are ready to begin the adoption process, or if you need an estimate
on fees and costs, please complete and submit our adoption questionnaire.
In addition to the questionnaire, you will also need to complete the
'Notice of At Risk Adoption' and, print out, complete, and sign the
'Certificate of Adoption' and return it to us with an original signature.
If you have a case through CPS you will also need to sign the Payment
Authorization form. Our questionnaire and other forms may be found here.
Note:
You may print out the forms and fax them to us at 361-993-1313 or
bring them with you to your appointment.
