There is no cost for
placing your child up
for adoption, and we
will help with
any
other costs.
You can contact us 24 hours a day or 7 days
a week.
Once we are in contact with you, we will meet with you
one-on-one as well as with any extended family members
as necessary.
If you decide to work with us, we will meet with you on a regular basis to get to know you better and to educate you regarding the adoption process.
The level of openness you desire and let you determine the best type of family you would like your child to have.
You may then choose from the parent profiles the parents
you wish to learn more about.
If you wish to meet with the adoptive parents, we can
set a meeting up for you at a neutral location with a social
worker present.
Once adoptive parents have been chosen, you may choose
to have them present during the delivery, at the hospital
to help care for the infant, and with you for
moral support.
Once released from the hospital, we will remain in contact
with you on a regular basis until you are ready to move
onto another chapter in your life.
We will help you document for your physician and yourself a plan that you have predetermined for what you'd like your time in the hospital to look like. This can include such things as who will be present, how much care you would like to give your baby, and much more.
During your hospital stay we will support you and act as your advocate. After 24 hours you are able according to Indiana law to sign relinquishment papers. We will help you determine what time works best for you.
