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.

“When it comes to adoption and major life experiences for a family, the staff at Cradle of Life were the most generous, patient and knowledgeable people we have ever encountered. Working with Cradle of Life has been a true experience of the heart for our family. As parents of two biological and three adopted children, we now understand that different agencies approach the adoptive family differently. It was from stories of your own experience as adoptive parents that we built our most basic understanding of how this miracle process would work. We knew we could call you for anything, anytime, and you would take the time to answer our questions . . .over and over again. Cradle of life is a part of our family, one we will treasure forever. We are grateful for the precious, perfect, children we have as a result of Cradle of Life. We are grateful for the ways you have made this journey so special for our family.

ELIZA AND MARCO
Because the agency owners are adoptive parents themselves, they could really empathize with us.
“We have two beautiful daughters, adopted four years apart, from Cradle of Life. In both adoptions, everything went smoothly. We were given lots of personal attention by each member of the staff. They approached our needs and desires with great sensitivity. Because the agency owners are adoptive parents themselves, they could really empathize with us and respond firsthand to our questions and concerns. We can't imagine a more caring, more efficiently run adoption agency anywhere. Our lives are wonderfully changed forever because of Cradle of Life.”

They immediately came to the hospital and helped me in this emotional time.
“I didn't call Cradle of Life until after my baby was born. They immediately came to the hospital and helped me in this emotional time. They were so caring. I knew they had my baby’s best interest at heart. We finished all of my arrangements before I left the hospital. My adoptive family was with my baby before he was discharged.”
