Finding the Right Help: Why Your Adoption Agency or Attorney Matters
Adoption is one of the most personal, emotional decisions a birthmother can make. If you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy and considering adoption, the process can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to choosing an adoption agency or attorney. With so many options, how do you know whom to trust? Start by focusing on legitimacy and experience.
What to Look for in an Adoption Professional
Accreditation and Licensing
Not all agencies or attorneys are the same. Ensure you’re working with licensed and experienced professionals in adoption law. Ask:
- Is the agency licensed in your state?
- Is the attorney licensed and focused on adoption law?
Proven Track Record
Experience matters. Find out:
- How long have they been operating?
- Does the adoption professional handle adoptions full-time or part-time?
- How much experience do they have arranging adoptions in Indiana?

Thoughtful Questions to Ask Before Choosing an Adoption Professional
Before committing to working with any agency or attorney, ensure you get the necessary answers. Start with these essential questions:
- What emotional support or counseling is available to me, if I want it?
- Will I have my attorney? Will I have to pay for my attorney?
- What happens if I change my mind? Will I have to pay anything?
- Does the adoption agency in Indiana or the adoption attorney offer support after the adoption is finalized?

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,” our website will not appear in most expectant moms’ search results in Google.
