We’ll Guide You Through the Texas Adoption Process

We’re here to help you with starting the home study process

Hello and welcome to Legacy Adoption Services! We are fully licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Thank you for your interest in the adoption process. Adoption is an amazing journey, and our Texas adoption agency would be honored to walk with you through this process. One of the first steps involves starting the home study process.

Exploring the basics of starting the home study process

When you’re first getting started with building your family through adoption, you can expect to go through the home study process. To help you plan, we’ve provided some information about starting the home study process.

  • The home study cost is $3,500. This includes a fully completed copy of the home study. Additional travel fees may be incurred if you reside outside the Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso or Houston Metro areas.
  • The process is usually completed within four to six weeks of receiving your completed application and background check.
  • This step also offers additional services, including the orientation class for families considering adoption and post-placement follow-up.
  • This process applies to domestic private adoptions.
