Exploring Adoption

Providing Resources to Help You

Whether you are still in process of deciding if you want to adopt or have made the decision but need help along the way,
Hands of Hope is available to assist you.

Adoption and Foster Care Information Meeting

Our Adoption and Foster Care Information Meetings are held virtually the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7pm (with the exception of May and December). Hands of Hope is not an agency so we are able to provide unbiased support and resources. These are a great first step in gathering information on domestic adoption, international adoption, foster care, and the Indiana Adoption Program.

Adoption Resources

There are many community resources available to you. These include conferences, educational resources, trauma support, and more. Browse for resources that would best serve you and your adopted child.

Every Child Symposium

Every Child is a one-day conference designed to inspire the faith community in Indiana to answer God’s call to care for vulnerable children. It is a day full of inspiration, equipping, and practical ideas so that EVERYONE can do SOMETHING to make a difference in the lives of children in need in our communities. Our God-sized goal is that every child in Indiana is loved & supported.

Grants and Loans

Hands of Hope believes the best place for any child is in a family. Recognizing that finances can be a barrier Hands of Hope seeks to help families living in Indiana overcome that barrier through matching grants and interest free loans.
