For over 35 years, the law office of Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., has helped nearly 4,000 birth moms find solutions to challenging situations. As adoption lawyers, we recognize the emotional nature of what is involved and provide a number of resources for prospective birth mothers to relieve them of some of the stress and anxiety associated with adoption.
Financial Help
If you believe that adoption is your best plan for your baby, we will provide financial help with living expenses, for such things as rent, clothing, food, transportation, utilities, lost wages, and other pregnancy-related expenses, as allowed by a state law.
We want you and your baby to be okay and will do whatever we can legally do to help you. For more information about how we can help you, contact us day or night.
Transportation Costs
You are not required to pay for visits to doctor’s appointments, meetings with the adoptive families or our case workers if you decide to place for adoption. We cover transportation expenses related to your pregnancy. For more information about how we can help you, contact us day or night.
Housing Arrangements
We do NOT require that you live in a maternity home. Most women with whom we work, who need help with housing, prefer that we provide assistance in paying rent. For more information about how we can help you, contact us day or night.
Medical Expenses
You choose the doctor whom you want to see and the hospital at which you deliver, or we will help you find one. We will see that your pregnancy related medical expenses are paid. For more information about how we can help you, contact us day or night.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS ALONE
We are here at all times of night and day to listen and help

Answers To Your Questions
Is it free to put my baby up for adoption?
Expectant mothers want to know what it will cost them if they want to work with us toward an adoption plan for their baby. And the answer is, it does not cost the expectant mom anything. They pay zero, nothing.
Our services are free to expectant mothers who are considering adoption plans for their baby or putting their baby up for adoption. Our fees are paid by the prospective adoptive parents. So, there is no cost at all, and certainly no obligation on the part of an expectant mom who contacts us and wants information.
Is visitation, after adoption, a good idea?
For a lot of women who are first starting to think about adoption, the idea of being able to visit the child is very appealing to them, until they get to thinking about it. A lot of times we see women who want visitation and insist on visitation because they want to remain a part of the child’s life. If that is what the mother is after, she is never going to be satisfied with the visitation arrangements, and it is likely that the adoptive parents are not going to follow through on their promise, which, by the way, is not an enforceable promise. If the adoptive parents offer visitation or agree to visitation, it cannot be enforced in law. read more…
Why Choose Loving Adoptions For Your Adoption Plan?
The first is our experience. We have more than 30 years of experience handling adoptions. We’ve been involved in more than 3,000 adoptions involving adoptions with every state. The second is our knowledge of adoption law. In all of the tragic adoption cases that you’ve read about or heard about or seen on television, they always involve an error in law. Who better to provide a safe passage through this area than an experienced adoption attorney whose sole practice is adoption of children?
Another factor is that our clients have experienced a lot of success over the years. They have been successful in realizing their dreams of becoming parents.
Can I change my mind after I sign a consent to adoption?
If you’re a birth mom, you can only sign a consent to adoption after the baby is born. Once you sign the consent, there is no period of time to change your mind. Now you don’t have to sign the consent, but if you do you should expect that you’re going to be held to that decision. A birth mother does, however, have 30 days after she signs the consent to file petition with the court, ask the court for hearing, and at that hearing attempt to prove it’s in the best interest of the child that her consent be withdrawn.
We’ve been doing this for over 30 years and we’ve never had anyone successfully withdraw their consent. So if you sign a consent you should assume that you’re going to be held to that decision. At Loving Adoptions, we will never pressure a mom to sign a consent, and we’ll make it very clear to her that if she does sign the consent there is no period of time to change her mind.
Do I need to identify the birth father?
Birth mothers often ask us if the father of the baby has to be involved in the adoption process. Sometimes the father of the baby is actively involved and supportive of the process. Obviously, that makes the situation very easy. If the father is not involved, or doesn’t want to be involved, it’s not necessarily more difficult for you. If you choose to meet with us, we’ll explain your options in detail and give you our suggestions about what would be the best for your situation. Our experience will help ensure that there are no surprises and that your decision regarding your baby’s welfare is protected.
