Local Adoption Contacts

Often working behind the scenes, adoption consultants do some of the most critical work of Indiana Adoption Program. They collaborate with a child’s team to identify the right family for a child, and assist with preparing the child or sibling group for the transition into a forever family. Adoption consultants also serve as a key contact for prospective adoptive families, and assist with answering questions, scheduling training courses, and shepherding the families through the home study and recommendation process.
