Not a Texas Resident? Visit your State Adoption Website for information on how to start the process to become a foster or adoptive family. Texas can only place children with families from other states if they have a current home study. You may also visit the national website at www.AdoptUSKids.org.

Note: U.S. families approved to adopt within their state and who have a current home study may fill out the interest form directly on the child's photo/profile page within Child Search.
