If you live in Plano and hope to adopt a baby, you’ll find details below about completing your home study and finalizing your adoption in Collin County. You can also read through the adoption process for adoptive parents.

Pregnancy centers in Plano, Texas

Pregnancy centers, sometimes called “crisis pregnancy centers,” are nonprofit clinics that help expectant parents confirm a pregnancy and understand their options. They’re generally operated by pro-life organizations and may not be staffed by licensed medical professionals. Services are usually free and confidential.

Here are pregnancy resource centers serving the Plano area:

Prestonwood also runs a Family Resource Center in Richardson with free baby and maternity items for new and expecting moms.

If you’re worried about the cost of medical care during pregnancy, you can learn about available coverage through Texas Health and Human Services. Lifetree can also help with practical support during your pregnancy.

Plano, Texas hospitals

If you’re a birth mother or a waiting adoptive family, it’s worth talking with the hospital’s labor and delivery team ahead of time about your hospital plan. Plano has some of the strongest maternity programs in North Texas:

We can help you write out a hospital plan covering who you want in the room, how much time you want with your baby, and what happens after delivery.

Completing a home study in Plano, Texas

Texas law requires every adoptive family to complete a home study before an adoption can move forward. The home study confirms your home is safe, stable, and ready for a child, and it includes an in-person visit, interviews, background checks, and a review of your financial and medical history.

It’s the first substantial step for most adoptive families. When you’re ready, reach out to Lifetree and we’ll help you get started. Plano families may also want to look at the federal and state tax benefits available to adoptive parents.

Finalizing your adoption in Collin County court

Adoptions are finalized through a court proceeding. Nearly all of Plano sits in Collin County, so your case will most likely be heard in the Collin County District Courts in McKinney. A small western portion of Plano extends into Denton County, and cases there go through the Denton County family courts.

Common questions about adoption in Plano

Does placing my baby for adoption cost me anything?

No. Adoption is always free for birth mothers. You will never be asked to pay Lifetree.

Can I still choose an open adoption?

Yes. You decide how much ongoing contact you want, from letters and photos to regular visits. That agreement is built around what you want, not around where you live.

Where would my case be finalized?

For most Plano residents, in Collin County court in McKinney. If your address falls in the Denton County portion of the city, it would be heard in Denton County instead.

We already started a home study elsewhere. Can we still work with Lifetree?

In many cases, yes. Give us a call and we’ll look at where you are in the process and what would need to happen next.
