The adoption process in Texas is governed by state law. The first step in any adoption is to file a petition with the court. The petition must be accompanied by a variety of supporting documents, including the child's birth certificate, a home study, and a criminal background check. Once the petition is filed, the court will set a hearing date.
At the hearing, the judge will ask the parties questions about their relationship with the child and their ability to provide a safe and loving home. If the judge finds that adoption is in the best interest of the child, he or she will grant an order of adoption. The order of adoption is then forwarded to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, which issues the final decree of adoption.
The adoption process can be complex and time-consuming, but it is worth it when you finally hold your child in your arms. The Law Office of Juan R. Zamora can help you navigate the process and ensure that everything is done correctly.

There are several types of adoptions in Texas. The most common type is known as an agency adoption, which occurs when a child is placed with adoptive parents through a state-licensed child-placing agency.
Other types of adoptions include independent adoptions, stepparent adoptions, and relative adoptions.
Agency Adoptions
In an agency adoption, the child is placed with the adoptive parents by a state-licensed child-placing agency. The agency will usually provide services to both the birth parents and the adoptive parents, including counseling, support, and education. The agency will also complete the necessary paperwork and submit it to the court for approval.
Independent Adoptions
In an independent adoption, the birth parents and the adoptive parents work together without the involvement of a child-placing agency. Independent adoptions are generally more expensive and complex than agency adoptions, but they can be faster and less bureaucratic.
Stepparent Adoptions
A stepparent adoption occurs when the spouse of a child’s biological parent adopts the child. Stepparent adoptions are usually relatively simple and inexpensive, and they do not require the consent of the other biological parent (if that parent’s parental rights have been terminated).
Relative Adoptions
A relative adoption occurs when a child is adopted by a blood relative, such as an aunt, uncle, or grandparent. Relative adoptions often occur when the child’s parents are unable to care for him or her, and they offer the child a stable and loving home.
