Key Adoption Process Steps in Garland
The typical adoption process involves the following steps:
- Eligibility and Requirements:
The first step is ensuring you meet Texas’ adoption eligibility requirements, including background checks, financial stability, and age. We’ll help you assess your readiness for adoption. - Choosing the Type of Adoption:
There are several types of adoption, including domestic adoption, foster-to-adopt, and stepchild adoption. We’ll help you understand your options and choose the best path for your family. - Home Study:
Most adoptions require a home study, where a social worker will assess your home environment and interview you. We’ll guide you through this process, making sure you’re fully prepared. - Filing the Petition:
After the home study, we’ll help you file the adoption petition with the court and ensure all required documents are completed accurately. - Court Hearing:
Once the petition has been filed, the court will schedule a hearing. A judge will review your case and determine whether the adoption is in the child’s best interest. We’ll represent you in court and advocate for the approval of your adoption. - Finalization:
Once the judge approves the adoption, we’ll help you finalize the process by filing the adoption decree, legally recognizing your parent-child relationship.
