Re: adoption
Your attorney is bound to confidentiality, unless you waive that confidentiality. The Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct can be found on the website of the State Bar of Texas. If violated, the attorney not only risks her license, but the information would be legally inadmissable. When you review the rules, note that there are exceptions, and in some cases the attorney is allowed (sometimes required) to reveal certain information.
