For the birth parent facing an unplanned pregnancy, making an adoption plan can be a very positive resolution. With support and counseling, most birth mothers who choose adoption based on the best interests of their children are able to grieve and proceed with the healing process in a positive manner. When the adoption experience is handled properly, most birth mothers feel good about their decision years later.
In the state of Texas, the whole adoption process is outlined and governed by numerous laws to protect the birth parents, the adoptive parents, and most importantly, the baby. The Adoption Alliance has an extensive screening process for prospective adoptive parents to ensure that you have the best families to choose from. Every family has an adoption profile for you to review. If you want to know more about the adoptive family we will allow you to meet and talk to the adoptive parents prior to placement.
Below are 4 things you need to consider before giving up your baby for adoption in Texas:
1. Double Check That Adoption Is The Best Choice
The first thing is assessing your circumstances and accepting that adoption is what is best for both you and your baby.

We realize there are many circumstances that influence your decision and we work hard to help you understand all of your options.
2. Learn About Adoption Laws In Texas
