What Is the Adoption Process for Expectant Parents in TX?

Because every adoption is incredibly unique, we prefer to personally discuss your situation and your needs and determine a process that will cater to those needs. Our counselors can help you understand the process of adoption and keep you informed every step of the way.

In general, adoption may include the following steps for birth parents:

We assist with any pre-natal issues or locating a doctor
We discuss the legal issues regarding the birth father
We take appropriate legal steps to facilitate the adoption process

While we are pursuing these matters, you will be helping select the adoptive family by reviewing letters and photos submitted by families who have already completed the screening process and been approved. You will be able to spend time with your baby in the hospital if you desire to do so.

When you are ready to sign the final papers, we will be there for you without pressure. In short, we will assist you in every way possible to help you make the decision that is right for you and your child.

You will decide the extent of your contact with the adoptive family. Our policy enables you to make your own decisions to whatever extent you desire. We will not provide information about you or your adoption plan to anyone without your permission.
