Discovering you are pregnant when you didn’t expect to be can bring up a lot of emotions. You might feel shocked, scared, confused, or even a mix of many feelings all at once, and that’s completely normal. The most important thing to remember is that you are not alone, and you do have options. If you’re in Indiana and considering adoption, understanding your rights, the process, and the support available to you can make the journey easier.
At Loving Adoptions by Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (sometimes mistakenly spelled “Kirsch & Kirsch”), we are here to offer confidential guidance, compassionate support, and clear information so you can make the decision that feels right for your life, your future, and your baby.
Creating an Adoption Plan
If adoption feels like the right path for you, the next step is creating an adoption plan. Think of an adoption plan as a guide that puts you in control of the process. It’s completely personalized, and allows you to make important decisions such as:
- What type of adoption would you like
- The family you choose for your baby
- How much contact would you like to have with the child and the adoptive family in the future
- Your preferences during pregnancy and at the hospital
Working with experienced adoption professionals like us can help make sure your wishes are heard and respected throughout the process.
Choosing the Right Adoptive Family
For many birth mothers, choosing the family who will raise their child is one of the most meaningful parts of the adoption journey. You will have the chance to look through profiles of waiting adoptive families and learn more about their lives, values, careers, hobbies, and hopes for becoming parents.
If you’d like, you may also have the opportunity to talk with potential adoptive parents by phone or video call, or even meet them in person. These conversations can help you ask questions, get to know them better, and feel more confident in your choice.

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming, but having the right support can make a big difference.

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.
