The Indiana Adoption Program is a statewide initiative to find loving, committed, safe, permanent families for children in foster care. Through the program, Firefly Children and Family Alliance helps recruit prospective adoptive families and match them with waiting youth. Most children in this program are over ten years old, and many are part of sibling groups, so families interested in adopting older youth or multiple children are especially needed. Every year, over 100 youth find their forever families through the Indiana Adoption Program.<\/p>\n

All U.S. states require that prospective adoptive parents complete an adoption home study. The adoption home study process involves a detailed assessment of the family and the home. Firefly Children and Family Alliance offers private adoption home studies for international adoptions, custody adoptions for stepparents and grandparents and private adoptions for families being matched with an expectant mother through another avenue. Adoption home studies include interviews and a thorough review of the prospective family\u2019s background, including financial and criminal records, as well as home visits by a licensed clinician. Adoption home studies are designed to ensure that the adoptive family is well-prepared and able to provide a safe environment for the children they are adopting.<\/p>\n
