Guiding You Through Every Step of the Adoption Journey
Adoption can be overwhelming—we guide you through every legal step with care and clarity, so you can focus on growing your family with peace of mind.
Our Adoption Legal Services
We handle a full range of adoption legal services, supporting families adopting domestically and adopting internationally.
Domestic and Kinship Adoption
Whether you’re adopting a child within the United States or formalizing the care of a relative through kinship adoption, we provide guidance through each stage of the process. We provide full support with:
- Preparing and filing all required documents: We ensure petitions, consents, disclosures, and all supporting materials are complete and submitted correctly to avoid delays.
- Home studies and suitability assessments: We coordinate and guide you through the evaluation process, helping you understand what to expect and how to prepare.
- Finalizing parental rights in court: We assist with hearings and required court appearances to establish the legal parent-child relationship.
- Guidance on open vs. closed adoption arrangements: We help you understand your options, the implications of each, and how to structure an arrangement that aligns with your family’s needs.
Every adoption is unique. We take the time to understand your situation and work to ensure the process is secure, ethical, and compliant with Texas law, so your family can move forward on a strong legal foundation.
Stepparent Adoption
If you are a stepparent ready to formalize your relationship with your stepchild, we help determine eligibility and complete the paperwork and court filings needed to establish legal parental rights under Texas and U.S. law.
International Adoption and Immigration Adoption Lawyer
International adoptions require careful compliance with both U.S. law, including immigration adoption laws, and the laws of the child’s home country. As your international adoption lawyer, we provide support with:
- Hague and non-Hague adoption requirements
- Working with accredited agencies abroad
- Home studies and adoption suitability evaluations
- Immigration adoption filings to bring your child to the United States
- Ensuring the adoption meets U.S. immigration rules for legal status and future citizenship
Our law firm is experienced in both family and immigration matters, meaning you only need to work with one lawyer, not two. With an experienced family and immigration adoption attorney by your side, your family avoids costly mistakes and unnecessary delays.
