When a person is considering adoption. he or she should look for an adoption agency with a good reputation. They should include open adoption as an option, and provide information about legal rights.
First, look for certifications and proper documentation. Second, look for testimonials, and be sure to contact some of these people in person (don't just trust things written on the internet). Third, look at the way you are interviewed; it should be an extensive and in-depth process. Look for an adoption agency that has a verifiable license in your home state as well as an agency that has been in business for several years without major incident.

Since you're talking about adopting an older child, I'm assuming that you're talking about adopting through the state (rather than private or foreign adoption) I can't speak for Indiana specifically (my experience is in Florida) but in general the adoption agencies are area specific... meaning that the answer probably depends on where you live in Indiana. The agencies that handle this also are responsible for foster care. You can find the Indiana foster care & adoption association at /www.ifcaa.org/ and if you look under adoption > adoption support networks you'll find a page that has the Local Adoptive Parent Support Networks, which should be able to answer your questions.

There are a lot of factors involved in this.Was the adoption open, or was it sealed?Was it a foreign or domestic adoption?Was it a private adoption or through the state1. If the adoption was sealed, you're going to have to go through the courts to get anything. You may be limited as to how much information you can get, if any. If it was open, there may be info available (names, SSN, possibly other identifying information)2. If it's a foreign adoption, you're going to need to follow up with adoption agency. They may be able to put you in touch with people in the country you were adopted from. There may be little or no info available.3a. For a private adoption, you were probably adopted as an infant and have no memory of your birth family. You'll need to get in touch with the agency that you were adopted from, and possibly the courts to get at your adoption records.3b. If you were adopted through the state, you may have been adopted late enough to have memories that will help you track them down... extended family, or names that you can google, or look for on facebook. Otherwise see 3a.
