M shares, "I encountered Adoptions of Indiana as a birth mother. They did a fantastic job of helping me come up with my adoption plan without being heavy handed or trying to push me in a certain direction - supportive rather than directive. The pre-birth counseling was done in such a way that I could have determined that adoption was not my best option - I wasn't just being helped to live with a decision that was what others wanted for me. Follow up counseling and support groups were also great. I loved having the opportunity to sit on a panel for a nursing in-service to help obstetrics nurses understand how to be more sensitive with their birth mother patients. Overall the spirit of the organization is to make sure all 3 parties (birth parents, adoptive parents, and infants) have the best possible outcome."

We love our volunteers and appreciate their devotion to our mission. Our 5K: IN IT FOR THE LONG RUN is completely volunteer organized and driven. We'd love to have your help as we expand this event to include a Family Fun Fair this year.

Funding Needs

We are always in need of funding to ensure that women in crisis pregnancies are provided adoption options counseling, specific financial assistance, and have needed long-term counseling and support services.

We also raise funds to find loving, prepared adoptive families for children with special needs and to help them meet the specific needs of their new child.
