Adopting a Child in Texasadopted children with parents

Many couples dream of having a child. However, for those struggling with infertility, or other issues that may prevent them from expanding their family, adoption provides the hope many need to fulfill the of becoming a parent. Whether you are single or married, when deciding to adopt a child, it is crucial to be fully committed before embarking on the process.

If you are ready and committed to raising a child, you will need to meet several requirements:

  • You are 21 years of age or older
  • You are financially stable
  • You can provide references
  • You completed an adoption application
  • You can provide proof of marriage or divorce, if applicable
  • You completed a home study
  • You and any other adults living in your household submitted to a criminal background and child abuse check

A home study is required in any adoption, even if you are only planning on fostering a child. It can be completed through the adoption agency, the state, or a separate home study agency. During the home study, a caseworker will visit your home to learn about your family interests, lifestyle, personal history, childcare experience, and any other skills or strengths you may have that will be helpful for meeting a child’s needs. It will also include both a federal and state background check and require medical and financial information.

Before choosing an adoption agency, however, you should understand your needs to ensure the agency you choose can effectively address them. Our family law attorney can review your options with you and advise you on the most suitable choice.

Below are some of the questions you should ask yourself:

  • Do you want to adopt an infant or an older child?
  • Are you interested in adopting internationally or domestically?
  • Would you like to have communication with the child’s birth parents?

The answers to these questions can help narrow down your choices.
