Types of Adoptions We Handle

We offer comprehensive counsel to parties involved in adoption proceedings, including handling stepparent or relative adoptions, adoptions related to Child Protective Services cases, and private adoptions. We do not handle foreign adoptions. We will be your liaison with all parties involved, from birth or custodial parents, to adoption agencies.

• Stepparent Adoptions - Families grow and change over time. If you or your spouse has children from a previous marriage, adopting those children can provide many legal and relational advantages.
• Relative Adoptions - Grandparents and other relations can legally adopt a child in cases where the biological parent(s) is deceased or has terminated their paternal rights. This is common in situations where the child is turned over to their relation by Texas CPS.
• Private Adoptions - For couples who are struggling to conceive or want to grow their family, private adoptions are a great option. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services is the most direct method but there are many great adoption agencies in the Houston area.

Our Angleton adoption lawyers will prepare and file all necessary documentation to initiate or complete the adoption process, including any paperwork necessary to bring about the termination of parental rights to the child. We have the experience to handle voluntary or involuntary terminations of parental rights. When necessary or appropriate, we will work directly with Child Protective Services (CPS) to complete the steps necessary to finalize the adoption. We will also represent you in all court proceedings necessary to complete the process.
