Once you have made the decision to adopt, your next step is to select an adoption provider. Choosing an adoption agency is an important decision. An agency like the Adoption Alliance can provide guidance, information, and support throughout the adoption process. An agency can also help you to better focus your efforts, which can conserve resources such as time, patience, and money in the long run.
The Adopt ion Alliance is a 501 C (3) Charitable Organization, which is licensed to place children for permanent adoption. The Agency is licensed in Texas, New York, and Connecticut. We are also authorized to place children in most other states. The Agency received its provisional license in January 1989 and its permanent license on January 13, 1990. The staff of The Adoption Alliance is very proud of all of the Agency’s accomplishments since becoming licensed. Working with an experienced and professional agency provides valuable services for both adoptive and birth parents.
The Agency has worked with adoptive parents living throughout the continental United States and in several foreign countries. The Agency’s goal is to build happy, functioning families and to assist all parties through the adoption process with professional, caring guidance.
Counseling for the birth parent(s) and their families is perhaps the most important service we provide. It is generally recognized that young women who receive counseling during their pregnancies are more apt to follow through with their adoption decision. In addition, you will have complete background and health information on your child as possible. The Adoption Alliance employs a hard working, knowledgeable, and caring staff with many years experience in adoption. Our legal team is considered the best available. There will be many questions throughout the adoption process. Our staff welcomes any and all inquiries concerning the Agency, its policies or the rules and regulations governing adoptions in Texas.
During the adoptive parents initial contact the Adopt ion Alliance staff gathers general information. The Adoption Alliance staff does not believe a long wait for a placement is beneficial to anyone, and occasionally closes applications for our domestic program. Upon return of the application and all required documentation to the Agency, the Agency will arrange or assist in arranging for a pre-adoptive Home Study.
The Director of Social Services must review and approve the application, supporting documents and Home Study. If the applicants are accepted as prospective adoptive parents, their adoption plan is discussed and they are advised of their status as “parents in waiting”.
Everyone involved in an adoption plan understandably has many questions. If your questions are not answered on the website, please call the Agency. Each adoption is handled on an individual basis and as mentioned no two adoptions are exactly alike. The Adopt ion Alliance staff will make this a special time for everyone involved. We would love to help your family with the adoption process.
The Adoption Alliance believes well-informed adoptive parents will make the best decisions for their families. So let the experienced staff at the Adoption Alliance help you stay informed and remember we can help your dream of a family become a reality through domestic adoption.
