Can a single person adopt a child?

In the state of Texas, a single person may adopt a child from the foster care system. Like all applicants, the person must undergo a background check and be deemed fit to adopt based on a range of factors.

Different adoption agencies may have different policies about single parents and adoptions. These questions are best answered by contacting the agency directly.

The Austin adoption attorneys at Slater, Kennon & Pugh Ltd.LLP can answer any questions you have about the adoption process. Contact our offices today by calling 512-472-2431 to learn more.
