Throughout the month of May, eight local high schools competed in raising money through Papa John’s pizza purchases. The students collaborated in choosing two local charities that would receive the proceeds of the pizza sales. Adoptions of Indiana was blessed to be one of the organizations chosen, along with Happy Hollow Children’s Camp. We are extremely blessed by the generosity of Papa John’s and the Papa Cares Foundation for partnering with the MIC Network to develop the May of MIC Miracles campaign. On June 1st, representatives of our agency met with students at Warren Central High School for a check presentation ceremony.

Reflections from 13th Annual Birth Mothers’ Day Celebration

On May 4, 2017 Adoptions of Indiana hosted its 13th Birthmother’s Day Celebration.  This precious event is held each year to honor the women amongst us who chose to give their child the gift of life. We pay tribute to those who found a family to love their child despite their own, deep desire for motherhood and their own pain.  Each year, we pay tribute to women who selflessly chose adoption.   Read more>

Spring has sprung! Here at Adoptions of Indiana we’re settling into the swing of 2017 and looking forward to what this year will bring. From the excitement of participating in Brackets for Good, to prepping for our Birth Mother’s Day Celebration, to scoping out options for our annual In it for the Long Run 5k, our staff and board are keeping busy!

Annual Birth Mother’s Day Celebration

The majority of our attention, at this moment in time, is focused on the approaching Birth Mother’s Day Celebration. For the past 13 years, this event has served as a foundational pillar of our mission. It represents everything we strive for; a moment to step out of our daily routine to honor and celebrate the women who have inspired our work. As a child-centered agency we rely on our birth and adoptive parents to make those decisions that put the needs of their child before their own. This celebration is a chance to honor that deep commitment. Read more>

We’re so excited to share our participation as a 2017 Community Partner of Brackets For Good with you!

We can win and you can help!

At the end of six rounds, one nonprofit will be left standing and will receive the grand prize of $10,000. That could go a long way in our mission to provide specialized support and services to those touched by adoption in Indiana. Read more>

Before you skim over this post and discard it, I highly encourage you to read it in its entirety. I know free time is rare and precious, but so is the work that we do.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to you for being a part of our wonderful Adoptions of Indiana community. As you know it’s much more than a community; it’s a family.  Our mission and vision are simple and true- to provide invaluable services to birth and adoptive families throughout the adoptive life cycle.

Over the past 21 years, we have helped over 2,500 families through home studies, birth parent counseling, and placements. That means Adoptions of Indiana has touched over 10,000 lives in some way and has made a lasting impact. Knowing this fills our hearts and fuels our work—and we rely on the generosity of others to make each day possible. Read more>

After celebrating Thanksgiving, we reflect on all of our families, past, present and future, and we are grateful. It is a big responsibility that birth families have entrusted us to help place their child with an adoptive family.  We’re honored and take this trust seriously.  It is also fitting that a month of giving thanks is also National Adoption Month.
