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.

Tapestry is an amazing company that I would recommend to anyone! Vicki and Andrea are both extremely caring, nice, professional, attentive, and very prompt. They make you feel like no question is "dumb" and they are very informative. My husband and I are still in the process of adopting but I know that we are already getting 5 star service and will continue to receive that throughout our journey!! Thank you so much Tapestry!!

My wife and I cannot recommend Tapestry Family Services and Vicki enough! Throughout our adoption process Vicki was always encouraging, responsive and willing to assist us with any questions that came up. We were also very impressed with the lawyer she recommended (Nate Leach). When we fist spoke with Vicki we had shared our story of failed IVF and not connecting well with another agency. It's obvious that she and her agency are making a positive impact for adoptive parents and the adoption community.
Thank you Vicki and TFS!

We highly recommend Tapestry for home study and post placement. They were able to do ours last Spring while most agencies wouldn’t even talk to us yet because of their wait lists. Vickie offered to do the homestudy while we waited. We ended up going with a consultant because of wait times with in state agencies and we ended up matching a month later! If she hadn’t offered to do the home study we might still be waiting to even sign up with an agency and missed out on our beautiful baby boy.

We adopted through Tapestry and felt it was a smooth process all around. Vicki did a great job at communicating with us through the entire process. The attorney she works with was great, as well! We appreciate what this organization is doing for the adoption community and we hope they continue to offer adoption at an affordable cost!

We used Tapestry Family Services for our home study and we couldn’t have chose better people to invite into our family. Andrea and Ms. Vicki are very responsive and thorough in ensuring you have what you need. Everything was conveniently done. Our situation is sort of different because we already have the baby, however, they were able to accommodate our unique situation. We are very appreciative of their services and highly recommend using them to bring your family together! Thank you all for everything!
