Adoptions in Indiana

Adoption is the legal process that formalizes a new parent-child relationship. The adoption process begins by filing a petition in the court and providing notice to certain persons who may have a legal interest the process. The biological parent(s) must either voluntarily consent to the adoption or the court may order a relinquishment of their parental rights if certain factors are met.

Indiana law also requires the completion of a home study by a licensed child placement agency. In the case of stepparent adoption, the adoptive parents may petition the Court to waive the home study and submit to a background check only.

Upon completion of all requirements, the Court will hold a final hearing at which time the judge may review all supporting documentation and ask questions of all parties involved.  The judge may then grant or deny the adoption.
