Could you be a little more specific? Like where where you born? Was your adoption through a private attorney or an agency?
I think many adoptions fall into the "grey area" as far as legality goes. Many agencies/brokers/attorneys skirt the law, ie, refusing to inform the father, coercive tactics, even going so far to using heavy sedation during and after childbirth to get a mother to sign relinquishment papers. Sad, but true...and it STILL exists today. |

Are you questioning whether the adoption actually happened? In my state, an adoptee can request information about where the adoption took place. There is information about it on the state's human services web site. The state cannot release the adoption decree, but they will tell an adoptee which county has the paperwork. You might start by contacting human services in Texas.
In my case, I have my adoption decree, and the adoption was conducted in the wrong county. It took place in the county of my birth. The county of my adoptive parents' residence had jurisdiction. In that sense, it wasn't legal. I seriously doubt if it could be voided for that reason, however. |

Need more information as to state, county, etc, but to get started, do you know the agency that was involved? Start with them, I take it you are above the age 18? You could also check your county birth records if you know where you were born to get the names of your parents. Good luck. |
