Navigating the Adoption Process in Indiana: Key Steps and Considerations

Adoption is a loving choice, but it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. Understanding each step of the adoption process in Indiana can make the journey easier.

Choosing adoption is personal and unique to everyone. It’s okay to take time to think. You can talk with close friends, family members, or a counselor who understands adoption.

Creating an Adoption Plan

We will help create an adoption plan that ensures a smooth adoption experience. There are three types of adoption plans to choose from. 

• Open

• Semi-open

• Closed adoption

You can decide how involved you want to be in your child’s life. Our compassionate adoption support team is here to help you make the right choices. We respect your choices and never judge you.

Selecting the Adoptive Family

We have carefully screened loving families from all over the country (married, single, Lesbian, and Gay). Our families are happy to assist with living expenses to the extent the law allows. We will arrange for you to have contact with the family you choose on your terms.

Go Through the Legal Process

The legal part of adoption happens after birth. You’ll sign consent forms that give the adoptive family parental rights. Indiana law gives you time to feel confident in your choice before signing.

Positive adoption language Disclaimer: Please understand that these blogs are written in a way to use language that people use when searching for help with their adoption plans. Unfortunately, while all of us understand what positive adoption language means, most expectant moms who come to us at first do not understand what that means. The most common search term on the Internet for pregnant moms is “How do I give up my baby for adoption.” If we do not include those words in our blog posts and instead put “How do I create an adoption plan for my baby,” then our website will not show up in most expectant moms’ search results in Google.
