Navigating the adoption process as a birth mother can be overwhelming, but understanding each step can provide clarity and peace of mind. Knowing more about the Indiana Adoption Process will help you in this journey if you consider placing your child for adoption in Indiana. This is a deeply personal choice, and it’s important to take the time to consider all your options.
Choosing an Adoption Agency or Attorney

Creating an Adoption Plan
Once you’ve chosen an agency or attorney like us, the next step is to create an adoption plan. This plan outlines your preferences for the adoption, including:
Type of Adoption:
You can decide how involved you want to be in your child’s life. Our compassionate adoption support team is here to help you make the right choices. We will help you create an adoption plan that ensures a smooth adoption experience. There are three types of adoption plans to choose from.
Open
Semi-open
Closed adoption
Selecting Adoptive Parents
We have carefully screened loving families from Indiana and all over the country. Our families are happy to assist with living expenses to the fullest extent the law allows. We can help you connect with the adoptive family that fits you and your child’s needs.
Signing the Consent
An attorney from our office comes to the hospital 24-48 hours after you deliver. When signing, an attorney from Kirsh & Kirsh will be present. If you wish to have your attorney, they will be present in person or by telephone.
You do not have to go to court in person. After signing the consent form, you will have a phone call with the judge the same day or the next business day. The baby will be released to the adoptive parents from the hospital.
You are not alone. Contact us!
We will answer your questions and provide the information you seek without cost or obligation.
We work with birth parents all over the country, but we mainly focus on Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Michigan, and Illinois. We do not advocate a ONE-SIZE FITS ALL approach when we handle adoptions.

POSITIVE ADOPTION LANGUAGE DISCLAIMER:
Please understand that these blogs are written in a way to use language that people use when searching for help with their adoption plans. Unfortunately, while all of us understand what positive adoption language means, most expectant moms who come to us at first do not understand what that means. The most common search term on the Internet for pregnant moms is “How do I give up my baby for adoption.” If we do not include those words in our blog posts and instead put “How do I create an adoption plan for my baby,” then our website will not show up in most expectant moms’ search results in Google.
