Tony and Abby
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hello! We are Abby and Tony! We are honored that you are interested in learning more about us as prospective parents.
Our story together started on a Tuesday, but more specifically, a Taco Tuesday! Tony and his roommates hosted a weekly taco dinner for friends, and this time, Abby was invited to attend by a mutual friend. We hit it off over the guacamole and decided to have coffee the next week. We made a connection that Abby was applying to guide youth backpacking trips at the same camp in Colorado that Tony had spent the last few summers working at. That summer, we had the opportunity to guide a trip together and realized that we made a pretty good team! Our love continued to grow back at home in Indianapolis as we continued going on adventures around town. We were engaged within the year and married the next summer in June of 2016.
We both work with youth and have been excited about starting a family of our own for a few years. Two years ago, we decided to become foster parents. We have had the beautiful opportunity to provide a temporary home for children in the past. We loved the experience of coming alongside the birth parents while the children were in our care. Now, we are hoping to start a forever family through open adoption and are excited for you to be a part of that!
Financial Support
Expectant mothers who choose to make an adoption plan may qualify for some level of financial assistance during their pregnancy. However, each person's situation and specific needs are different. Your adoption social worker can help you determine what level of assistance you qualify for and deserve. Many expectant mothers qualify for financial assistance to cover basic pregnancy and living expenses, including but not limited to - transportation reimbursement, utility assistance for phone, water, and electricity/gas, maternity clothing and supplements, etc.
CONTACT USFood & Groceries
Navigating a pregnancy alone is never easy. Depending on your situation and location, you may qualify for financial assistance to help cover the cost of basic living expenses, such as food and groceries.
Medical Expenses
Receiving quality medical care during your pregnancy is vital to both your health and the health of your baby. If you choose to place your baby for adoption, all of your pregnancy-related medical expenses will be covered by the adoptive family.
Rent & Utilities
Women who choose to place their baby for adoption may receive financial assistance to help cover the cost of rent and utilities. If you feel that you'll need some help with these costs, it's important to talk to your adoption social worker about it early in the process.
Household Items
In order to have a healthy pregnancy, it's important that you have everything you need to lead a healthy lifestyle. The cost of some household items may be covered during your pregnancy.
Counseling
Placing a baby for adoption is a loving but incredibly challenging decision. Many women experience a range of emotions during this time and find that counseling is very helpful.
Transportation
If you need assistance with transportation, your adoption social worker can help you find the best solution. You may be eligible for help with transportation costs.
