Adoption is not a one-size-fits-all process. Every family’s circumstances are unique, and the legal path to adoption can vary depending on the relationship between the adoptive parent and the child, the involvement of biological parents, and other important factors. Adoption directly impacts children, making it essential to consider their needs, well-being, and the emotional and legal aspects of bringing children into a new family. At Nava Law Texas, we help individuals and families across El Paso pursue the type of adoption that best fits their needs and circumstances.
Our firm handles a wide range of adoption cases, including:
Each type of adoption involves different procedures, timelines, and legal requirements. We work closely with you to understand your family’s situation, help you determine which type of adoption is most suitable for your family, and develop a strategy that meets Texas legal standards while keeping the process as smooth as possible. Various factors, such as family circumstances and legal requirements, can influence the adoption process.
Adoption is a legal process that creates a permanent parent-child relationship. While the emotional side of adoption is deeply meaningful, the legal side requires careful attention to detail. In Texas, adoptions must follow specific procedures, and even a small misstep can delay the process or put the adoption at risk.
An experienced adoption attorney ensures that all legal requirements are met and that your rights are protected every step of the way. This includes filing the correct paperwork, meeting court deadlines, handling the termination of parental rights when necessary, and representing you at hearings. If any complications arise, having legal representation can make the difference between a successful adoption and one that faces unnecessary challenges.
At Nava Law Texas, we guide families through each phase of the adoption process with clarity and care. Our goal is to ensure that your adoption moves forward smoothly, without legal surprises or delays. Whether your case is straightforward or complex, we are here to support you and help you move forward with confidence.
Very good attorney she did the impossible for me to get my charges dismissed I had got charges for something I didn’t do and she was able to prove my innocence...
She was appointed to me for a trespassing ticket and she went above and beyond the normal duties for a lawyer...
Attorney Nava was extremely professional & dedicated to me as a client. She was able to get both my cases dismissed in a timely manner...
I was at the wrong place at the wrong time that lead to a very hard case and needing a lawyer ASAP! This is my first time being represented by Alyssa Nava and my experience was a BLESSING!
Awesome! Great service, straight to the point. Highly recommend. Thanks Ms. Nava
I can't even begin to tell you how much of a blessing it was to be introduced to Alyssa, she was extremely attentive and genuinely concerned for me and my case...
Adoption in Texas follows a structured legal process designed to protect the best interests of the child and ensure the child's needs and well-being are prioritized, while ensuring that adoptive parents meet all requirements. While the exact steps may vary depending on the type of adoption, there are several common stages that every adopting family should be prepared for.
The adoption process typically includes:
In Texas, a person must generally be at least 21 years old to qualify as an adoptive parent, and must meet additional eligibility requirements set by the state.
Throughout this process, there are legal documents to prepare, deadlines to meet, and court requirements to follow. Having an adoption attorney on your side helps ensure that each step is completed properly and that any issues are addressed before they become obstacles.
Nava Law Texas provides the legal knowledge and support needed to move your adoption forward efficiently. We guide you through each requirement and handle the legal complexities, so you can stay focused on what matters most: growing your family.
Stepparent and relative adoptions are among the most common types of adoption cases in Texas. These adoptions allow a close family member, such as a stepparent, grandparent, or sibling, to gain full legal rights and responsibilities for a child. While the emotional bond may already be strong, the legal process ensures that the adoptive parent has the same rights as a biological parent in the eyes of the law.
Marriage is not required to adopt a child in Texas—single individuals or unmarried partners may also pursue adoption. The eligibility criteria focus on the best interests of the child and the suitability of the prospective adoptive parent, regardless of marital status.
In many of these cases, the court will first require the termination of one or both biological parents’ rights. This can be done voluntarily or, in some cases, involuntarily if the parent is absent, unfit, or has failed to meet legal responsibilities. Once parental rights have been terminated, the adopting family member can move forward with the legal adoption.
At Nava Law Texas, we help families navigate this process with care and precision. We understand the emotional importance of formalizing a family relationship and are committed to making sure every legal step is handled correctly. Whether you are a stepparent looking to adopt your spouse’s child or a relative stepping in to provide a safe and stable home, our firm will guide you through the process and advocate for your family’s future.
Termination of parental rights is a critical legal step in most adoption cases. Before a child can be legally adopted, the legal rights of the biological parents must be ended, either voluntarily or through a court order. This step ensures that the adoptive parent or parents can take full responsibility for the child without any legal conflicts in the future.
Voluntary termination occurs when a biological parent agrees to give up their rights. In other situations, the court may decide to terminate a parent's rights due to neglect, abandonment, abuse, or failure to support the child. These decisions are not made lightly. Texas courts require clear legal grounds and strong evidence that termination is in the best interest of the child.
At Nava Law Texas, we handle termination of parental rights with care and professionalism. We understand how sensitive these cases can be and work closely with our clients to prepare the necessary evidence and meet all legal requirements. Whether you are seeking to adopt through a stepparent or relative adoption or moving forward with a private adoption, our firm will help you take this important legal step properly and effectively.
