Adopting a child is a life-changing decision, but it also involves a legal process, especially when it comes to the adoption court process. At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, we help families in The Colony navigate the steps of this process to make their adoption experience as smooth as possible.
What is the Adoption Court Process?
The adoption court process is the legal procedure that finalizes an adoption. After completing initial steps like finding a child, submitting consent forms, and completing home studies, you’ll need to go through the court system to finalize the adoption. This includes filing a petition for adoption, attending a court hearing, and receiving approval from the judge to legally adopt the child.

Steps in the Adoption Court Process
The court process involves several key steps:
1. Filing the Petition for Adoption
The process begins by filing a petition for adoption, which provides important details about the adoptive parents and child. Our attorneys will assist with preparing and submitting this petition.
2. Home Study and Background Checks
A home study is required to assess the home environment, and background checks are conducted on all household members. We help you prepare for and complete these steps.
3. Court Hearing
Once the petition and home study are complete, a court hearing is scheduled. The judge will review the petition and, if all requirements are met, approve the adoption. We will represent you at the hearing.
4. Finalization
Once the judge approves, an adoption decree is issued, officially recognizing you as the child’s legal parent. The adoption is finalized at this point.
