What kind of paperwork are you needing to do? ↑ |
You can not do your own adoption unless you have had the child in your home for atleast one year and they don't allow it in some states and they don't always allow you to if a waiver is asked for. I am not sure but in TX I don't think it is allowed even with a waiver unless it is a step parent. You need to call a lawyer and see if it is legal to file on your own. ↑ |
Natalie-
We adopted our son from TX in June; in TX you need an adoption attorney or an agency to handle the adoption.
Good luck.

i know an adoption lawyer but don't want to pay an agency its high fee i am very quick at learning the legal realm of things went through a generic paralegal course ↑ |
Natalie,
If you find your own birthmom, you can use your attorney to do the paperwork; or if he gets birthmom situations to present to you, that is fine too.
There is no paperwork that you can do on your own and submit to the court. Only an attorney or an agency licensed in TX can do that.

well is there anyone who knows of a bm willing to get to know us and let us adopt their child ↑ |
Hi Natalie, I think there are a lot of us here hoping we may meet a birthmom and become a match. But in addition to that, there are a lot of very nice and knowledgeable people here. Plus it is nice to talk with different people who have interests in adoption besides trying to make a match. Everyone has a unique perspective to bring to this forum. I also am hoping to find the right situation to enlarge my family. Good luck to you :) ↑ |
