How Tapestry Adoption Puts Families and Children First

When you’re exploring adoption – whether you’re a hopeful adoptive parent or an expectant mom – one of the most important things to understand is ethical adoption. It’s a phrase you’ll hear often, but what does it really mean?

At its heart, ethical adoption means doing what’s right for the child and respecting the rights and dignity of every person involved – the child, birth parents, and adoptive family. Every step of the process should be transparent, compassionate, and guided by integrity.

At Tapestry Adoption, this isn’t just an idea – it’s our foundation. We believe every child and family deserves honesty, respect, and lifelong support throughout the adoption journey.

What Makes an Adoption Ethical?

An ethical adoption focuses on the best interests of the child above all else – not on the needs or timelines of adults. This means that before an adoption ever takes place, careful attention is given to whether the plan truly meets the child’s needs for safety, love, and permanency.

Ethical adoption also means that birth parents have full, honest information about all their options and are never pressured into a decision. Expectant mothers should be empowered to choose the adoptive family, the level of contact they want, and even how they wish for the hospital experience to go.

At Tapestry, we offer free, non-coercive counseling and education to expectant parents. We walk alongside them – never ahead of them – helping them make an informed choice that feels right for them and their baby. And if that choice ends up being parenting rather than adoption, we fully support that decision too.

How Tapestry Ensures Ethical Adoption for Adoptive Families

For adoptive parents, ethical adoption begins with preparation. Every Tapestry family goes through thorough screening, education, and a licensed home study to ensure they’re emotionally and practically ready to welcome a child.

We provide education on adoption dynamics, including loss, identity, and open adoption relationships. Families learn that adoption isn’t a one-time event – it’s a lifelong journey that includes honoring the child’s history, maintaining healthy openness when possible, and preserving their cultural or ethnic identity.

We also believe in transparent, fair fees. At Tapestry Adoption, our fees are based only on services provided – not on a child’s background or race. Adoption should never involve profit or the idea that a child is being “purchased.” Every payment is documented, legal, and ethical.

Home Study Support You Can Trust

A home study is a critical part of the adoption process – it ensures that adoptive parents are prepared and that the home environment is safe and supportive. Tapestry partners with licensed professionals to help families navigate this important step smoothly.

If you’re preparing for adoption in Indiana, we recommend visiting Indiana Home Study, a trusted resource for completing your state-approved home study. Their team offers guidance, documentation help, and support that aligns perfectly with Tapestry’s ethical standards.

Open Adoption: Building Lifelong Connections

Today, most adoptions are at least partially open – and for good reason. Research and experience have shown that open adoption benefits everyone. It allows children to grow up with a sense of identity and connection to their roots, and it gives birth parents peace of mind knowing their child is loved and thriving.

At Tapestry, we encourage openness whenever it’s healthy and possible. We help families communicate clearly about expectations and maintain those connections in meaningful, appropriate ways. Openness is not about “sharing parenting”; it’s about honoring relationships.

Accountability and Professionalism Matter

Ethical adoption requires accountability. That’s why Tapestry Adoption is fully licensed in Indiana, meaning we meet state standards for training, documentation, and child welfare best practices. Every staff member is trained in adoption ethics, trauma, grief, and cultural sensitivity.

We also partner with trusted professionals to ensure that all adoptions are completed legally and with full due process for both birth parents. That includes ensuring both parents’ rights are respected and that children are never made available for adoption through coercion, fraud, or trafficking.
