I live in Ohio and and represented my husband and I in the adoption of our daughter. In Ohio, most of the forms are posted on the court website in pdf format. The rest of the forms I picked up from the Clerk of Court. I found the forms to be pretty self-explanatory but the Clerk's office staff was very helpful in answering questions and telling me which forms I did or did not need.
I wish I still had a copy of the article I found written by a paralegal in Texas that was my inspiration for doing the adoption myself. You may be able to find it on a search engine under "Pro Se Adoption Texas" or something of that nature.
It sounds like if the bio father already relinquished that the only thing you have to do is file the paperwork and possibly have a home study done (if necessary). The Court-Appointed social worker did ours since we didn't use an agency. Good luck!
