When Is the Right Time to Hire an Adoption Attorney for a Foster Care Adoption in Indiana?
Are you adopting a child from foster care in Indiana? Whether you live in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, Carmel, South Bend, Fishers, Bloomington, Hammond, Noblesville, or Lafayette, one of the most common questions we hear is:
“When should I hire an adoption attorney?”
The short answer: sooner is better.
Why Timing Matters
If you’re working with DCS (Department of Child Services) and moving toward adoption, the legal part can sneak up fast. Maybe you’ve been fostering for a while. Maybe you just found out your case is moving to adoption. Or maybe the caseworker mentioned something about “starting the legal process.”
That’s the moment to reach out.
Having the right adoption attorney early on means you’re prepared when it’s time to file paperwork, go to court, or handle unexpected issues. It can also save you time, stress, and confusion.
We Help Families Across Indiana – and Beyond
We’ve helped families adopt from foster care not just in Indianapolis and surrounding cities, but all across the state. That’s because we handle DCS adoptions in every county in Indiana.
Proximity doesn’t matter. Results do.
You don’t need an attorney who’s just down the street. You need one who knows Indiana adoption law better than anyone – and that’s us.

- We handle more adoptions in Indiana than any other attorney.
- We know the DCS system inside and out.
- We’ve worked with families in every part of Indiana.
Don’t just take our word for it. Check out our online reviews – you’ll see stories from families just like yours who say we made the process smooth, fast, and easy.
Better yet, search adoption groups on Facebook or other social media. See what real people are saying about our firm. You’ll notice how often our name comes up—and how strongly people recommend us.
In fact, we’ve seen what’s out there. Some adoption attorneys rarely update their websites. Others take only a few cases a year. We focus on adoption—and it shows in our reputation, our experience, and our online presence.
You Deserve the Best, Not the Closest
Just because an attorney is “local” doesn’t mean they’re the best choice. Adoption is too important for that. Would you pick a heart surgeon based on who lives nearest you—or who’s the most skilled?
Choose the attorney who knows how to handle your case the right way.

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.
