Adoption in Texas: The Basics
In a stepparent adoption, it is necessary to terminate the parental rights of the biological mother or father. In a grandparent adoption, the parental rights of both biological parents must be terminated.
There are eligibility requirements in a Texas adoption. Some of these relate to:
| The age of the child |
| Parental consent |
In addition to the eligibility requirements, the adoption process in Texas involves a number of detailed steps requiring extensive paperwork. Our law firm can help you throughout your adoption and help you make sense of the complicated process.
Our law firm also assists in grandparents' rights matters involving custody and visitation rights.
