Yes. Your privacy and your preferences are the most important factors. You can choose an open adoption plan, a closed adoption, or a semi-closed adoption.

We will work with you and the potential adoptive family to create a plan with clear expectations on both sides.  

We have many families fully ready, prepared, and approved to start parenting today. 

Our waiting families undergo background checks and home studies to ensure they will provide a safe and loving home. 

You can look at our list of waiting families here. 

If you are considering adoption for your child, you are strong, brave, and loved. And you are not alone. Adoption is never an easy decision to make, and we are here to help you in every way we can. 

We promise to start a conversation with you. We promise to always listen to what you want for your child and what you need from us. We promise to be there for YOU, as a birth mother, for long after an adoption placement is made. 

**Immediate assistance is always available. You can call us any time, day or night. We have a number of fully approved adoptive parents who are ready to begin parenting right away.**

No matter what stage you are in your pregnancy, you can make an adoption plan at any time. If you are ready and know that an adoption plan would be in the best interest of you and your child, we can start to create an adoption plan.

If you just delivered the baby, you can call us right away. Adoption plans can be set up within an hour. Timing of placement may depend on hospital policies after childbirth. We place children from infancy to school age.

The state of Indiana allows for up to $4000 in support money, the details of which are discussed in meetings after an adoption plan is set up.

This money can be used to help and support you with critical needs, including food, clothing, and medical expenses. 

We will look for other resources in the community as well to maximize the help we can provide to you. 

If the child is already a ward of the state, we cannot step in. You can make an adoption plan if you’re concerned that DCS will get involved and you know that an adoption plan is in your child’s best interest. You still might be able to make the decision of an adoption plan within the first days or week of DCS involvement.

The sooner you contact us, the higher the chance that you’ll be able to make the decision of an adoption plan for your child and yourself.

We will not. It is the sole decision of you, the birth mother, whether or not to pursue adoption.

Even if you are under 18 or dealing with other difficult situations, we will not discuss this issue with your family. 

You have the right to choose whether or not to name the biological father on the child’s birth certificate during an adoption process. If you choose not to name him, we will not notify him. 

Multiple behavioral issues can develop in addition to medical diagnoses and the use of serious medication. Many caregivers and changes in placements create life-long attachment challenges for the child. Parents may also struggle with more difficult behaviors as the child becomes an adult.

Adoption is not for everybody but in many situations, it saves lives. Babies and young children don’t have a voice yet. It is the obligation of parents to provide the life the child deserves.

When a woman becomes pregnant, the main responsibility of the child is on her shoulders. Everybody likes to give advice but everyone has their own dilemmas and decisions. You don’t have to involve others into the decision to choose or not to choose an adoption plan. People advise and then go on with their life. Your responsibility is in the best interest of your child and you.
