Overview of Adoption Laws in Texas
In Texas, adoption laws are designed to protect the interests of all parties involved – the child, the adoptive parents, and the birth parents. Governed by the Texas Family Code (the most pertinent parts concerning adoption are found in Chapter 162), these laws outline the procedures and requirements for a legal adoption, including eligibility to adopt, consent necessary for adoption, and the legal effects of adoption. Adoptions in Austin, TX, follow state guidelines to ensure the process respects the rights and wellbeing of the child at its heart.
