Adoption Information
Vital Statistics (VS) does not handle adoptions; however, VS does maintain birth records for all individuals born in Texas (including records for both in- and out-of-state adoptions) as well as the voluntary Central Adoption Registry. For more information on adopting in Texas, contact a child-placing/adoption agency or your attorney.
