BACK TO SCHOOL!

Summer is over and everyone is posting adorable “First Day of…” chalkboard photos on Facebook. A new school year always comes with transitions and new experiences, but as families built through adoption, we sometimes face some additional challenges.

When (and how!) do you talk to your child's teacher about your family's adoption journey? What details, if any, are relevant to your child's success at school? How do you explain the dynamic of an active and engaged birth family that might join you for school functions?

HAVE FUN, WHILE BUILDING A COMMUNITY!

One of the things that sets us apart at Adoptions of Indiana is the fact that we are a nonprofit agency. Although our adoptive placement program is maintained through fees-for-service, the is NEVER a fee for our expectant and birth parent services. From options counseling to connecting with parenting resources or creating an adoption plan to providing lifelong support, our generous donors allow us to provide these services at no cost.
