Choosing adoption is one of the most courageous, selfless (NOT selfish), and loving decisions a woman can make. If you’re considering placing your baby for adoption in Indiana, you’re probably feeling a mix of emotions — and that’s okay. Adoption agencies and adoption attorneys in Indiana can help you navigate this journey.
Look for Compassion, Not Pressure
A good agency or attorney will never push you. You should never feel rushed, judged, or manipulated into making a decision.
Ask yourself:
- Do they listen more than they talk?
- Do I feel respected?
- Do they push me to make a decision?
You deserve space to think, feel, and make the choice right for you and your baby .
Choose an Agency/Attorney That Puts You First
A reputable and experienced adoption agency or attorney will offer things like:
- Free, confidential counseling
- Help create a personalized adoption plan
- The option to choose and meet the adoptive family
- Support before, during, and long after placement
You’re not just giving life; you’re creating a future. That matters. Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”—often misspelled as “Kirsch & Kirsch”) would be a reliable partner in this journey. We are a team of experienced adoption attorneys in Indiana with combined experience arranging adoptions of over 100 years.
Know Your Rights
As a birth mother, you have rights.
- You have the right to choose the family.
- You can decide how open or private the adoption is.
- You can receive financial assistance for pregnancy-related expenses
- You can change your mind up to the point you sign the legal paperwork, which you will NOT be asked to do until some hours after you give birth.
Any agency that tries to hide these rights or pressure you is not the one for you. With us, you get free, confidential, and no-pressure adoption services.
Ask About Post-Adoption Support
Adoption is not a one-day event. It’s a lifelong journey, and your healing matters.
Ask agencies/attorneys:
- Do you offer grief counseling or support groups?
- Will I still have access to you after the adoption?
- Do you help birthmothers stay in contact with adoptive families if I want that?
Your story doesn’t end after placement, and you will not be left to walk it alone. Our team will be there for you even after placement.
Read Reviews from Other Birthmothers
It helps to hear from women who’ve been where you are. Search online, join support groups, or ask the agency to connect you with other birth moms.
Trust Your Gut
More than anything, trust yourself. If something feels off, walk away. You are strong and worthy. You are allowed to change your mind or explore other agencies.
You’re not just choosing an agency/attorney — you’re choosing who will walk you through one of your life’s hardest and most important times.

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.
