So we had decided to adopt through the state of Texas. Great. Now what?
We did our research and found this site: http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/Adoption_and_Foster_Care/Get_Started/default.asp. This led us to our first step - attending an orientation meeting. We attended a meeting in mid-January.
They are held a few times per month. We live in Galveston County, so we had to go up to Houston for our meeting. It lasted a couple of hours and we were given our initial application to fill out. We also found out a little bit more about the steps involved in adopting kids in Texas. So far, it sounded like it would be a breeze!
We filled out the application and handed it in after the class. We also learned that we would need to attend a training class, so we were signed up shortly after that. We then met our first big delay. The next available class in our area was in April.
We were also given a sheet with some of the documents that we would have to have available for the class. We quickly assembled that info and waited. We weren't necessarily happy about the wait, but we had no choice.
