There are many logistical requirements and criteria to become an adoptive parent in the State of Texas; the most important, and yet unspoken, of which is that you are fully committed to becoming an adoptive parent. At Carpenter & Associates, our intake staff are happy to provide you with an overview of what to expect throughout the adoption process so that you can make an informed decision.

In Texas, the following are requirements for prospective adoptive parents:

  • You must be at least 21 years old.
  • You must complete an application to adopt.
  • You must provide references.
  • You must complete a home study.
  • You must be financially stable.
  • You must share your background and lifestyle information.
  • You must provide proof of marriage or divorce (if applicable).
  • You must submit a criminal and child abuse background check on all adults living in the household.

It is not necessary to be married in order to pursue adoption. Many single parents go through the adoption process with great success.

The adoption process in Texas typically then unfolds like this

  • Choosing an adoption attorney or agency
  • Interviewing with your caseworker
  • Being matched with a child
  • Completing a home study through the state or through an agency
