Personal Commitment to Jesus Christ and actively involved in a church. Mature Christian couple married at least 2 years and at least 21 years of age and a stable income. Stable and loving environment with a real love and commitment to children. Meet the Indiana state adoption standards and child’s country of origin standards (intercountry adoption).

One is not better than the other but intercountry adoption is a better match for some families and domestic adoption is a better match for other families. For intercountry adoption the adoptive family must have an interest and desire to learn about other cultures, be willing to adopt a toddler or older child or a sibling group, be willing to travel to their child’s country of origin, be willing to complete extensive paperwork, and have patience after placement for their child’s transition to a new culture, language, and living situation. For domestic adoption the adoptive family must desire to adopt a newborn infant, be willing to be involved and minister to the expectant parents, and understand that the expectant mother may change her mind about adoption placement.

A home study is an evaluation of your family to make sure you have the right motives to adopt, are a stable, loving family for a child, have adequate space and a safe home for a child, and have the abilities to parent the child you desire to adopt especially a child with special needs. You do not have to know if you are adopting domestic or intercountry to start the process as we can give you information to help you make this decision and the paperwork for the home study is essentially the same for domestic or intercountry adoption.

China is the most popular country as there are so many special needs children available from infancy to teens, and from mild correctable special needs to severe special needs. China’s adoption program is also very stable with most children receiving loving care, and only involves one trip of 10-14 days for placement.

Our agency visits your child and the adoptive family in their home at least twice within the first year, in addition to frequent phone contact. We require that the adoptive family take your child to a pediatrician for medical exams and a developmental assessment. We help the adoptive family obtain evaluations from medical or child development specialists if there are any medical or developmental concerns and obtain any recommended services.
