Indianapolis Adoption Agencies

As a national adoption agency licensed in Indiana, American Adoptions is able to provide a variety of quality adoption services to both prospective birth parents and adoptive parents. Compared to a smaller agency, there are many resources to take advantage of.

Expectant parents considering adoption in Indiana will have access to 24/7 counseling support before, during, and after the birth — as well as guidance through the adoption process and financial support. Adoptive parents will experience shorter wait times through our agency than with a local agency due to our national outreach. These are just a few examples of the many services that we provide.

What Your Home Study Will Look Like in Indianapolis

No matter where you live, your home study will be a critical part of your adoption. This process must take place before you can adopt a child in Indianapolis or elsewhere in the U.S. A home study investigation will assess your readiness for welcoming a child into your home.

Your home study will mainly consist of background checks, a home visit and an interview with every family member that lives in your home. As you can imagine, this process can take some time.

American Adoptions is a licensed home study provider in the state of Indiana. We have streamlined the process to save you time and money – allowing you to focus on the next step of your adoption process. Follow this link to begin your home study and to learn more about the services we offer.

Indianapolis Courts

Before an adoption is completed, the adoptive family will need a final decree of adoption. This process will normally take place about six months after you first bring your baby home. Your adoption specialist and attorney will give you more information on what to expect on your court day.

You can also find more information about finalizing an adoption in Indianapolis at the Marion County Court Website.

Hospitals in Indianapolis

If you are a pregnant woman considering adoption, you may already have an idea of what you want your hospital plan to look like. However, if you work with American Adoptions, your specialist will have a few more questions to ask you. Just like with an adoption plan, you will be in complete control of what you want your hospital stay to look like.

If you are ready to begin your hospital and adoption plan in Indianapolis, below are some options that you may consider:

• St. Vincent Women’s Hospital
• Johnson Memorial Health

Activities to Enjoy in Indianapolis

One of the great parts about working with American Adoptions is that you do not have to live in the same state as your birth mother to complete an adoption. It is actually very common for adoptive parents to travel from another state to meet their little one.

However, due to interstate adoption laws, you will need to stay in Indianapolis for about a week as your ICPC paperwork is processed. This is a chance to bond with your baby and explore the city in which they were born.

Indianapolis is the largest city in Indiana, so there are plenty of sights to take advantage of, like:

• The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis
• Indianapolis Zoo
• White River State Park
• Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites
