Finding out you’re pregnant — especially when it’s unexpected — can bring a flood of emotions: love, fear, confusion, hope, and uncertainty all at once. If you’re considering adoption for your baby, you are not alone.
In Indiana, adoption is not about “giving up” your baby — it’s about giving them a future filled with stability, love, and opportunity. It’s also about making the choice that feels right for both you and your child.
Why Adoption Can Be a Loving Choice
Choosing adoption doesn’t mean you don’t love your baby — it means you love them enough to want the very best for them, even if that path is difficult for you. Many birthmothers in Indiana make this choice because they want their child to have:
- A stable and supportive home
- Financial security
- A family ready to provide opportunities
- A future filled with dreams, education, and care
You Have Choices
In Indiana, as a birthmother, you are in control of the adoption process. You can choose:
- The family that will raise your child
- How much contact do you want (open, semi-open, or closed adoption)
- The kind of future you envision for your child
No one will force you to make a decision. You’ll have support, counseling, and time to make the right choice for you. You set the terms of your adoption plan.

Positive adoption language Disclaimer:
Please understand that these blogs are written in a way to use language that people use when searching for help with their adoption plans. Unfortunately, while all of us understand what positive adoption language means, most expectant moms who come to us at first do not know what that means. The most common search term on the internet for pregnant moms is “How do I give up my baby for adoption?” If we do not include those words in our blog posts and instead put “How do I create an adoption plan for my baby?” then our website will not show up in most expectant moms’ search results in Google.
