My Nonprofit Reviews

My husband and I were led to adoption to grow our family. Finding adoption professionals to work with that we trusted were doing the right thing for all people that would be involved in our adoption process proved more difficult for us than expected. We wanted our adoption to be child-centered, and we also wanted to ensure that an expectant mother was receiving education and counselling before, during, and after the adoption. We wanted so much care and kindness shown to her. We as adoptive parents also wanted someone we could lean on to help us become educated on open adoption and stay with us as we navigated open adoption in the future. We had almost given up finding this with an adoption agency or attorney, and then we met with Adoptions of Indiana. We knew nearly immediately we were right where we were supposed to be! Although ultimately Adoptions of Indiana did not match us to an expectant mom because of their encouragement for us to do our own networking, in their words, we are still a part of their family. And the three ladies that had worked with us on education and our home study were there the day we finalized our son's adoption six months ago.

I have already reached out to Adoptions of Indiana several times with questions about how to, in a child-centered way, handle different aspects of our particular open adoption. They are always a phone call away and have extended their services to our son's birth mom even though she did not work with them before the adoption because of the circumstances. They have helped guide us to solutions that are generous and compassionate. They welcomed us with open arms to their "In It For The Long Run" 5k event for families, which was wonderful. It was amazing that they worked so hard to bring families together that shared adoption as part of how they were formed - the event was so fun and family friendly.

Adoption can be complicated and there are many elements and emotions that span lifetimes. I feel so confident, however, having the Adoptions of Indiana team to help guide our family through our open adoption as our son grows. They set the tone through the thoroughness of their home study and education, and then they continually deliver services to all whose lives are touched by adoption.

Adoptions of Indiana changed our lives! I do not know that we would have had the courage to proceed with adoption without them because we fully realized the magnitude of adoption and the impact on the lives that would be a part of our adoption. And we are so grateful for their continual presence in our lives.
