OVERVIEW – ADOPTING A CHILD
Adopting an infant is a labor of love, but it doesn't have to be difficult! Caring Adoptions facilitates matching parents with children to create families.
Caring Adoptions has been finding families for children since 1991 and will work with you to understand your family's needs and match you with a child. Caring Adoptions is one of the more cost efficient adoption agencies in Texas. We offer a monthly "Adoption 101 orientation", free of charge, to introduce you to the adoption process. Or, if you prefer, you can schedule a one-on-one appointment with us.
Caring Adoptions believes a family is defined by love, and the capacity to love, nurture and support a child. We support adoption by traditional couples, same sex couples and singles. There are no religious requirements.
Caring Adoptions Is Unique—Our Staff and Board are Adoptive Parents
The Founders and some of the Staff of Caring Adoptions are Adoptive Parents. Staff members together have four domestically adopted children. The Caring Adoptions Staff not only can tell you about domestic adoption, they can share their experiences and understand your concerns and needs.

THE ADOPTION PROCESS
Caring Adoptions takes the confusion out of adoption. As part of Caring Adoptions' mission, we work to identify and educate prospective parents. Adoptive Parents are introduced to domestic adoption in our free "Adoption 101" information sessions for prospective Adoptive Parents. As an alternative, you can choose a one-on-one consultation with Caring Adoptions' Family Coordinator.

Open Adoption
Complete identifying information exchanged; on-going contact both pre- and post-placement
