Our expertise covers a wide spectrum of adoption types:
Adult Adoption: Although less common, adult adoptions can be a beautiful way to formalize relationships and provide legal protections, such as inheritance rights. We'll help you understand and navigate the unique criteria and regulations surrounding adult adoptions.
Agency Adoption: Whether you're considering public or private agency adoption, we have extensive experience in both. Public agencies often handle cases where children are in state custody due to unfortunate circumstances. Private agencies, often associated with charitable organizations, specialize in connecting birth parents with loving adoptive families.
Independent Adoption: For those pursuing independent adoption, we recognize the sensitivity and complexity involved. Our team can provide the legal support required to ensure a smooth process. Keep in mind that independent adoption laws can vary significantly by state, and we're here to help you navigate those intricacies.
Relative Adoption: When birth parents and adoptive parents make personal arrangements, we offer the legal assistance needed to handle the paperwork and ensure compliance with state-specific regulations. Just like independent adoption, relative adoption laws can differ from one state to another, and our team will guide you accordingly.
Same-Sex Adoption: The U.S. Supreme Court decision on June 26, 2017, ensured adoption rights for same-sex couples across all states. However, some faith-based adoption agencies may have specific policies. We're well-versed in these matters and will support you throughout the process.
Stepparent Adoption: Stepparent adoption is a heartwarming journey where a new spouse legally embraces their partner's child from a previous relationship. We understand the joys and complexities involved, especially when both birth parents aren't in complete agreement. Our legal team will assist with the necessary paperwork and ensure a seamless process.
No matter which path you choose, we're dedicated to making your adoption journey as smooth and fulfilling as possible. Your dreams of growing your family and providing a loving home are within reach. Contact us today to take the first step toward creating an incredible future for your family through adoption. Your new family chapter begins here.
Adoption in Texas offers several benefits for both adoptive parents and children. Some of the key advantages include:
Growing Families: Adoption allows individuals or couples to expand their families, providing a loving and stable home for a child who needs it. It can be a fulfilling way to experience parenthood.
Providing a Stable Environment: For children in need of adoption, it offers the opportunity to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment, which may not have been possible in their previous circumstances.
Legal Rights: Through adoption, adoptive parents gain full legal rights and responsibilities for the child, including inheritance rights, decision-making authority, and the ability to provide medical care and education.
Emotional Rewards: Adoptive parents often experience deep emotional rewards by providing a child with a loving and supportive family. Many find the experience of building a family through adoption to be incredibly meaningful.
Sibling Relationships: For couples who are unable to have biological children, adoption enables them to experience the joys of parenthood and provide siblings for their existing children, if any.
Contribution to Society: By adopting a child in need, adoptive parents contribute positively to their communities and society as a whole, providing a brighter future for the child.
Legal Support: Texas has well-defined adoption laws and a legal framework that supports the process, helping ensure that the rights of all parties involved are protected.
Adoption Assistance: In some cases, adoptive parents may be eligible for financial assistance or subsidies to help cover the costs associated with adopting a child, particularly in cases of adopting children with special needs.
Support Services: Texas offers a range of adoption support services, including counseling, education, and resources to help adoptive families navigate the adoption process and address any challenges that may arise.
Lifetime Bonds: Adoption creates lifelong bonds between adoptive parents and their children. Many adopted children and parents have strong, loving relationships that last a lifetime.
It's important to note that adoption in Texas, as in any state, comes with responsibilities and legal requirements. Prospective adoptive parents should thoroughly research the process and seek guidance from adoption agencies and legal professionals to ensure a successful and legally compliant adoption.

I cannot thank Karen Pearson and her team enough for all the support they've shown me throughout my unfortunate divorce. With all the twists and turns thrown at my situation both in my personal life, but also my military career. This team always made me feel as though my case took priority. I will forever be grateful for them and highly recommend either of them to represent you as you drudge through your specific situation. Thank you again to Ball Morse Lowe team for everything you did on my behalf.
Ball Morse Lowe, PLLC offer exceptional knowledge in the oil and gas industry among many other things. I have worked with Senior Attorney, Chris Michael, multiple times and he continues to exceed expectations. If you are looking for a group of hard working, time efficient, diligent, and ethical attorneys, Ball Morse Lowe, PLLC and specifically Chris Michael would be a great choice.
I felt like I mattered. I felt like what I had to say was important. Glenn was thoughtful, encouraging and understanding. She helped me navigate the process and validated my thoughts about things I was not sure. Thank you Glenn!!! It was great working with you!
I turned to Ball Morse Lowe PLCC when I needed my mother's estate probated in Oklahoma. It involved mineral rights and I live in California and my mother had not lived in OK for over 60 years. I wanted a firm that would do this correctly and be reasonable in cost. Brian Hill was a pleasure to work with. He and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They made the experience of probate painless, explained things as we went along, and were clear in their expectation of what they would need from me to move the process forward. I am so glad I found them and appreciate deeply all they accomplished on my behalf.
