We like to say we’re Tapestry and we are “cut from a different cloth”. We aren’t your typical adoption agency. We are a ministry.
We aren’t just “faith based”. Our faith is lived out in every interaction we have with you as an expectant mom. You will feel that difference from the first phone call or text. We want you to know you have the support of a counselor and a mentor for as long as you need them. We care about you, not just your baby. We want you to be in a better place after working with us in all areas of your life. You may need support to leave an abusive relationship, find a place to live or support with rent and utilities. Perhaps, you are able to move and start again. It’s your journey, but we will walk with you.
Our goals with our families are different too. Adoption is a big money business. That’s not who we are. We work with area churches to provide programs to help families adopt without mortgaging their homes or going into severe debt. Our adoptions are less than 1/3 the cost of the big agencies. No one talks about this part of adoption, but we do. We serve our expectant moms with the same honor and respect that we treat our adoptive parents. You are all so very important. You’ll feel that difference after your first phone call. We promise…no pressure, no judgement, honest answers.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Foster parents in Indiana have access to a variety of services and support. These services include:
Support Payments
As a foster parent, you will receive a daily payment from DCS to help cover the costs of caring for a foster child. The amount varies depending on the age and needs of the child, but payments start at $18.88/day.
Foster parents are also eligible for an initial clothing expense payment of up to $200.00 and an Annual Personal Allowance of up to $300.00 per child per year. This payment becomes available when the child has been in placement for at least eight days.
Additionally, DCS provides a Special Occasion Allowance of up to $50.00 on
child’s birthday and during the December holidays.
Medical and Dental Coverage
In Indiana, children in foster care are entitled to receive Medicaid coverage for their medical and dental needs.
However, it is the responsibility of the foster parents to schedule and attend all medical and dental appointments for the child. This means that foster parents must make sure that the child receives proper medical care and attends all necessary appointments to maintain their health and well-being.
Training and Support Groups
Foster parents have access to ongoing training and support groups to help them navigate the challenges of fostering. Support groups provide a space for foster parents to connect with others who understand the unique challenges of fostering.
Indiana Foster Care Statistics and Outcomes
Understanding the statistics and outcomes of foster care in Indiana can help you better understand the need for foster parents in the state.
As of 2021, there were over 13,000 children in foster care in Indiana. However, there are only 6,200 licensed foster parents. Most children in Indiana foster care are between ages 8 and 16. On average, they stayed an average of 14.3 months in foster care.
Sadly, children who exit foster care have a higher likelihood of experiencing homelessness, unemployment, and incarceration than their peers who did not experience foster care.
As a foster parent, you can help break this cycle. You could inspire troubled child to excel and reach their true potential.

We are so thankful for Tapestry! Working with Vicki and the team has been a dream. We started the process last summer and 9 months later brought our beautiful baby girl home. Tapestry was attentive and quick to answer any questions we may have had. They do a great job focusing on ethical, Christ centered adoptions while caring deeply for birth mothers and adoptive families. If you are considering adoption, look no further! Tapestry is the best agency out there!

We are in the middle of the adoption process with Tapestry Family Services & couldn't ask for a better agency to be working with. Vicki and her staff endlessly communicate how much caring for the birth moms is important and we really appreciate that. Tapestry isn't just there to make money and match prospective parents. The agency seems to be really focused on what will be best for all parties involved. We have already and continue to highly recommend Tapestry to anyone!

Tapestry was absolutely wonderful to work with! Vicki’s knowledge and compassion are the perfect foundation for an adoption agency that takes excellent care of everyone involved, birth parents, adoptive families and above all the child.
I can never thank Tapestry enough for blessing my family with a beautiful son!

I’ve worked with Vicki on multiple projects/platforms for years, and her heart and investment in all she does is unmatched. Her character and integrity is refreshing, and the level of professionalism she brings to the table is such a step above the rest. She truly brings her best to everything she does, and it shows. When it comes to superior guidance through any situation, she’s who you want to be walking with.
