If you’re pregnant and exploring adoption, finding the right adoption support for birth mothers is one of the most important steps you can take. At Tapestry Adoption (https://www.tapestry-adoption.com/), we believe no expectant mom should ever feel alone in her journey. Our team offers emotional, financial, medical, and legal guidance so you can make the decision that’s right for you and your baby.

Why Adoption Support Matters for Birth Mothers

Choosing adoption is a deeply personal decision, and it often comes with feelings of stress, fear, and uncertainty. That’s why adoption support for birth mothers is so critical. The right agency will stand by you, offering both compassion and practical help.

At Tapestry Adoption, we serve women across all of Indiana with a focus on building relationships that are personal, supportive, and never rushed. Learn more about our approach to adoption here:

Types of Adoption Support Available

Emotional & Counseling Support

You’ll have access to free counseling services before, during, and after your adoption decision. Whether you’re struggling with feelings of shame, guilt, or uncertainty, our licensed counselors are here to walk with you every step of the way.

Medical Support

Your pregnancy-related medical costs are covered, so you don’t have to worry about paying for prenatal care or delivery.

Financial Assistance for Living Needs

When you’re considering adoption, Indiana law allows for reasonable living expenses, which must be reported to the court. With Tapestry Adoption, this may include:

• Maternity clothes
• Housing and utilities
• Groceries
• Transportation to medical or counseling appointments

• Hanley Adoption Law
• Herrin & Leach

The Advantages of Working With a Local Adoption Agency

One of the biggest differences between local Indiana adoption agencies and large national agencies is the level of personal support you’ll receive. At Tapestry Adoption, we are right here in your community, ready to meet with you face-to-face. We have an office in Indiana, and our staff is familiar with local hospitals, doctors, and attorneys. That means you won’t be navigating this journey with strangers from another state — you’ll have a trusted team beside you every step of the way.

Some national organizations try to lure expectant mothers across state lines to receive support. But moving to a different state for adoption can create unnecessary stress and distance you from your support network. You should be able to stay in your community, surrounded by the people and resources you know and trust. With Tapestry Adoption, you’ll never feel like “just a number.”

Local Social Workers Who Truly Care

Another advantage of choosing a local agency is having Indiana-based social workers available to you. Our social workers live and work in your area, so they can meet with you in person to talk through your needs and help with important resources such as housing assistance, applying for Medicaid, and creating your hospital birth plan. Because we know the local systems and community resources, you’ll always have practical, timely support that meets you where you are.

Partnering With Trusted Community Resources

We also work closely with trusted community organizations that serve women facing unplanned pregnancies. These include:

• Pregnancy Choices
• Life Centers
• Clarity

These organizations provide free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and ongoing support, and we are proud to partner with them so that every expectant mother has the care she needs. Together, we can ensure you feel supported emotionally, physically, and spiritually throughout your journey.

How Tapestry Adoption Is Different

Many adoption agencies rely on profile books, but at Tapestry Adoption, you’ll meet families in live interviews. This allows you to build a real relationship and choose the family who feels right for your baby.

You’ll also be empowered to:

• Create your own birth plan
• Decide the level of contact you want before and after placement
• Receive personalized support from staff who genuinely care

We don’t see adoption as a transaction – we see it as a relationship.

Common Questions Birth Mothers Ask

Do I have to pay for adoption support?

What if I change my mind?
You are never locked in. Adoption is your choice, and you will always have the right to decide what’s best for your baby.

Can I really choose my baby’s adoptive family?
Yes. At Tapestry Adoption, you are in charge of choosing the family through real-life meetings, not just photo books. Learn more about our adoption process: https://www.tapestry-adoption.com/services
