Thinking About Your Options in Texas

When you start looking into where to turn, you’ll find a mix of national organizations and smaller local groups. As a licensed agency in Texas, we work within state-regulated standards that are designed to ensure you are treated with fairness and that your medical privacy is always protected.

Our team is here to help bridge the gap between the questions you have now and the stability you want for your future. We take care of vetting waiting families and coordinating with specialized attorneys so you don’t have to manage those details alone. Whether you’re in a city like Dallas or a smaller town, we’re available to listen and provide answers that are specific to your situation.

How We Walk Beside You

One of our primary goals is to make sure you have what you need to feel safe and stable during this time. In Texas, we are able to manage medical and living expenses based on state guidelines, ensuring these resources are available to you at no cost.

When we work together, we focus on several areas of support:

• Help with the essentials: We can assist with rent, groceries, and utilities during your pregnancy, as permitted by Texas law, to help ease some of the daily pressure you may be feeling.
• Coordinating your care: We can help manage your prenatal visits and talk with hospital staff to make sure your delivery stay goes exactly the way you want it to.
• Someone to talk to: We offer 24/7 support to help you process everything you’re going through—no matter the time of day or night.
• Understanding your rights: We’ll connect you with attorneys who specialize in adoption to make sure you feel confident and informed about the legal side of things.

A Bit More About How We Work

Finding the right support is about finding people you trust. Because we work specifically within the Texas Family Code, we’re able to make sure every step of your journey is legally sound and respectful of your wishes. We also take the time to deeply get to know the families in our network, ensuring they are fully prepared and qualified to provide a loving home.

Because we work with so many different people, you have more opportunities to find a family that feels like a true match for what you want for your child. We want you to feel empowered to be as selective as you need to be until you find the right fit.

Finding a Family That Feels Right

The choice of who will raise your child is entirely yours. We’re here to help by providing you with profiles and videos so you can get a genuine sense of a family’s life, their home, and their values.

Many of the women we work with find themselves looking for a few key things:

• A sense of home: You might consider the neighborhood or the type of environment where the child will grow up.
• Values and traditions: You may want to find a family whose parenting style or cultural heritage resonates with your own.
• Staying connected: We can help you decide how much contact you’d like to have in the future, whether that’s through letters, photos, or visits.
• Stability: Many find peace of mind in knowing a family is in a stable place to provide for a child's long-term needs.

What the Journey Looks Like

Adoption in Texas is a path with several steps, but we’re here to walk through each one with you. Our goal is to make sure your voice is the most important one in the room.

Creating a Plan that Works for You

We’ll help you document how you want your medical care and hospital stay to look. You decide who is in the room with you and how much time you want to spend with the baby. This is your time, and we’re here to make sure your choices are respected.

Choosing the Right Family

Whenever you feel ready, you can look through profiles of families who are waiting to become parents. This selection is entirely up to you, and we’ll provide as much or as little information as you need to feel certain.

Understanding the Legal Side

Texas law has built-in protections for you. For example, you must wait at least 48 hours after the baby is born before any legal paperwork can be signed. This time is yours to rest and reflect. Even if you have already given birth to your baby, these same protections and supports are available to you.

Support for the Road Ahead

Our relationship with you doesn't end when the paperwork is finished. We continue to offer counseling and resources as you navigate the transition and the emotions that come afterward. We want to make sure you have the care you need as you move forward.

A Choice Rooted in Love

We know the phrase "giving up" is common, but it doesn't accurately describe the choice you're making. Choosing adoption is a proactive, difficult, and deeply loving decision for your child’s future. It’s about finding a stable environment for the child while also giving yourself the chance to reach your own goals.

We’re Here Whenever You’re Ready

If you have questions or just need someone to listen, we’re here for a confidential, no-pressure conversation. There’s never any obligation to move forward—we just want to make sure you have the information you need to make the choice that’s right for you.

Whether you’re just starting to think about this or you’ve known what you wanted for a while, we’re ready to help.

Call 1-800-ADOPTION or fill out our online contact form to talk with us whenever you're ready.
