How much does it cost to place a baby in Texas?

Understanding Financial Assistance and the Law
One of the most common questions we hear is: Can I get paid to place my baby for adoption in Texas? The answer is no. Adoption laws prohibit payment for placing a child, but that doesn’t mean you won’t receive financial support.
We also get asked, “How much does it cost to place a baby in Texas?” The answer to that question is also a resounding “No.” If you plan to place a baby for adoption in Texas, you have multiple avenues to receive support—both financial and emotional.
Texas law allows adoption agencies to provide financial support for pregnancy-related expenses. This is different from payment for adoption, which is illegal. We ensure all financial assistance follows Texas law while meeting your needs.
What’s the Difference Between Payment and Assistance?
- Illegal Payment: Giving or receiving money for adoption is against the law and considered human trafficking.
- Legal Assistance: Adoption agency can cover certain pregnancy-related expenses to ease your financial burden.
