Adoption Adoption Process Adoptive Parent Birthmother

MY FRIEND ASKED ME TO ADOPT HER NEWBORN BABY. SHOULD I DO IT?

The way you answer has huge consequences for the birthmother, you, and the child. Therefore, take time to think about it before you answer. Obviously, your friend – the birthmother – must trust you, and you may feel honored for her to have even asked you the question. In deciding what to do, here are a few things to consider:

  1. Most importantly, do you want a child (or another child if you already have a child or children)? If the answer is not 100% “Yes,” there is no need to read further. You have your answer. 
  2. Unless you are the father of the baby, it is NOT your responsibility to assume the life-long commitment of parenting the child, no matter how desperate your friend is. Do not feel obligated to help your friend.
  3. How will your parenting the child affect your relationship with your friend? What if she wants to make parenting decisions for you, especially if those decisions differ from yours? What if she starts treating you more like a babysitter than the parent of the child? What if, etc?
  4. What is in the child’s best interests? Should you suggest to your friend that she consider other options, such as having a family member of hers help, temporary foster care, or adoption?

If you would like more information about adoption and available living expenses during and after pregnancy for your friend, we at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. — or the “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh are sometimes called – Steve, and his brothers, Joel and Rob, and his son, Grant, pride themselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

HOW CAN I BE CERTAIN I WON’T MAKE A MISTAKE IN CHOOSING WHICH FAMILY ADOPTS, IF I PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

Great Question and a reason you should work with an experienced, ethical adoption professional, whether it is a national adoption agency, local adoption agency, or adoption professionals like the adoption law firm of Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (Kirsh & Kirsh). The four Kirsh attorneys have over 100 years of combined legal experience arranging adoptions. Also, Kirsh & Kirsh has been in existence since 1981 and has over 600 5-star Google reviews. 

Secondly, you should consider a wide variety of prospective adoptive parents. It is not likely you would marry the first person you dated! If your best friend tells you that she knows a family who wants to adopt and you choose that family, you have based your decision on the recommendation of, perhaps, a well-intentioned friend, but probably not a person qualified to determine if her friend has the qualifications to adopt much less provide the necessary opportunities, support, and guidance for your child to live a productive, happy life.  Again, the experience of Kirsh & Kirsh will provide you with additional peace of mind.

Thirdly, adoption professionals like Kirsh & Kirsh will give you the opportunity to read about, talk with, and even meet prospective adoptive parents, if you wish. Trust your instincts. It will not take long for you to feel a connection with prospective adoptive parents or not. 

Lastly, and most importantly you need to understand that in life, there are no guarantees about anything. Frankly, if you are being honest with yourself, you will realize there are no guarantees that if you decide to parent your child, you will have made the best decision for your child. All you can do with any important life-decision is gather as much information as possible, trust your instincts, and have faith that things will work out for the best.

IN INDIANA, CAN I STILL GET AN ABORTION?

Indiana’s law about abortion, Indiana Code § 16-34, provides a near total ban on abortions except in very limited circumstances and time frames. While some states may allow a woman to have an abortion up to a certain number of weeks into the pregnancy for any reason or just because she wants to abort the fetus, Indiana does not. Therefore, if you do not fit into one of the exceptions found in Indiana Code § 16-34, you will need to look into other options for your baby. For some women who find themselves with an untimely pregnancy, unexpected pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, or unwanted pregnancy is adoption is an alternative to parenting the child.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I AM PREGNANT AND NOT READY FOR A BABY

Finding out that you have an unintended pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, untimely pregnancy, or unwanted pregnancy probably caused you to believe it could not be true when you first found out. However, many people let their minds jump to the worst possible outcome whenever they learn of bad news. But, rarely does the “worst” happen, and often, the best solution is not the one that most immediately makes our worries go away. 

What you ultimately decide is entirely up to you, and you will be the one most impacted by your decision, except that, as a pregnant woman, your decision is complicated by the baby you have conceived. The two conclusions that immediately come to mind for most women in your predicament are parenting the child or aborting it. Obviously, both have long-term consequences for the unborn baby and you. Therefore, you should not only consider what to do now but how the consequences of your present decision will affect the rest of your life. 

An alternative to a situation like yours that does often come to mind is adoption. Before dismissing adoption, you might want to think of the potential benefits to your unborn baby and you, including:

  1. Knowing that you have done something “God-like” for the adoptive parents – given them a child. 
  2. Knowing that you have given your baby a chance for a bright future, in which he or she has the chance to pursue their full potential – maybe your child will be the person who finds the cure for cancer – who knows, but maybe.
  3. Knowing that you have put the needs of others ahead of your own needs and feelings. 

However, putting or giving a child up for adoption — or, more correctly, making an adoption plan — is not all rainbows and lollipops. It will be the hardest decision you ever make – a decision few people have the fortitude and strength to make. 

If you would like more information about adoption and available living expenses during and after your pregnancy, you should contact us. We at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (or the “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh are sometimes called — Steve and his brothers, Joel and Rob, and his son, Grant) pride ourselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN LIVE WITH MYSELF IF I GIVE MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION

Not long ago, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), an expectant mother completed our contact form requesting information about adoption. In the comment section, she expressed concern if she could live with herself if she give her baby up for adoption or, more correctly, as adoption professionals would say, made an adoption plan for her baby. She conveyed a concern many, if not all, birth mothers share. BUT, the question applies equally to the following two options a woman with an unintended pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, or untimely pregnancy has:

  1. Will I be able to live with myself if I have an abortion? Abortion ends the pregnancy but not the fact of having been pregnant. 
  2. Will I be able to live with myself if I decide to parent my child and cannot provide for my child in the way I think he or she deserves?  

Many of life’s decisions do not have an easy or even good solution. Occasionally, we must choose the least bad alternative or the lesser of evils. That may very well be how a birth mother who does not feel prepared for the fact that she is pregnant will have to reach a decision. However, and we cannot make this point strongly enough, she should not put off deciding hoping her dilemma will disappear. It will not.

I AM PREGNANT AND THINKING ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION BUT I AM AFRAID THAT DCS WILL GET INVOLVED AND TAKE THE BABY FROM THE HOSPITAL. WHAT CAN I DO?

The department of child services (or whatever it is called in your state) will not get involved simply because you give up your baby for adoption. Making an adoption plan for your child does not endanger your child causing child protective services to intervene. However, if you have already had problems with DCS and do not want DCS to take custody of your child and put your child in the “System,” your best option is to make arrangements for an adoptive placement before you give birth with adoption professionals like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), whose 4 attorneys have over 100 years of combined legal experience helping birth mothers find loving, wonderful, carefully-screened homes for the precious soon-to-be-born babies and newborns. Another alternative is to contact a counselor at a local adoption agency or national adoption and ask the agency to provide counseling to you about your options — including foster care.

IS A BIRTH MOTHER REQUIRED TO HAVE HER OWN ATTORNEY, AND DOES SHE HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN COUNSELING? WHY DOES KIRSH & KIRSH GIVE A BIRTH MOTHER THE OPTION OF HAVING HER OWN ATTORNEY AND RECEIVE COUNSELING? 

We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) want the birth mothers and expectant mothers whom we assist with adoptions to fully understand their rights and make the best possible decision for themselves and their children. As experienced adoption professionals, Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh know that a pregnant woman thinking about putting her baby up for adoption will often make a better decision for herself and her unborn child if she makes a decision based on good reasons rather than emotions. Counseling helps a mother to focus on her reasons and gives her the tools to keep her emotions from clouding her reasons. This is true whether she decides to give up her child up for adoption or parent her child.

As the attorneys for the adoptive parents, Kirsh & Kirsh cannot give legal advice to the birth parents. Kirsh & Kirsh can and does explain adoption procedure and what to expect in the process but ethically cannot give legal advice. Therefore, Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh always offer separate legal representation to birth mothers and expectant mothers, at the expense of the prospective adoptive parents. To it in another way, like counseling for birth mothers, legal representation is not required, but Kirsh & Kirsh makes it available, at no cost to them. 

If you have an unplanned pregnancy or an untimely pregnancy and are thinking about giving your baby up for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for your newborn or young baby, and would like more information about living expenses or to explore adoption, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh– or the “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh are sometimes called – Steve, and his brothers, Joel and Rob, and his son, Grant, pride themselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

CAN THE BIRTH FATHER’S PARENTS OR BIRTH MOTHER’S STOP THE ADOPTION, OR DO THEY HAVE GRANDPARENT VISITATION RIGHTS?

Each state has different laws. Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) try to file most of the adoptions they arrange in Indiana, so long as either the birth parents, adoptive parents, or child live in Indiana. Under Indiana law, neither the birth father’s nor birth mother’s parents – the child’s grandparents – have legal standing or grounds to object to an adoption. Additionally, in Indiana, grandparents have limited visitation rights which usually only come into play if the child’s parent is deceased. Also, those rights end with the adoption of the child by anyone other than a stepparent or a close family member, biologically related to the child, such as a grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew. 

Whether you live in Indiana or any other state, if you have an untimely pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, got pregnant by accident, or are just not ready for the lifetime commitment of parenthood and are thinking about putting your baby up for adoption — or, more correctly, making an adoption plan — and would like to explore adoption, contact us at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C.

POSITIVE ADOPTION LANGUAGE DISCLAIMER:  Please understand that these blog posts 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 that come to us at first do not understand what that means. The most common search term on the Internet for expectant 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 mom’s search results in Google.

Adoption Process Birthmother

I HAVE AN ACCIDENTAL PREGNANCY AND DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

If we could remove our emotions from decision-making and instead base our decisions on objective facts, most of us would make wiser decisions. As time goes on, emotions fade, but facts remain. Thus, if you could take your emotions out of your decision-making, you will likely come to a better conclusion. Of course, the problem is how do you remove emotions from such a personal decision. Try this – Imagine that a close friend of yours came to you with the same issue. What advice would you give your friend? Pregnancies come to an end in one of three ways — the birth of the baby, abortion, or miscarriage. Since miscarriages are not controllable, the options for your friend include giving birth and abortion. Abortion ends the pregnancy but not the fact that your friend was pregnant. While many women have determined that it was their right to make the decision to abort the pregnancy and have learned to live with it, is hard to imagine that any woman who aborted a child was proud of her decision. You need to ask your friend to think about how she will feel about having had an abortion in the years to come, as the abortion will always be a part of her personal story, even if nobody else knows she had an abortion. 

Giving birth does not necessarily mean parenting the child. Parenting is a lifetime, monumental commitment – not an 18-year obligation. Parents never stop parenting their children. If your friend is not ready to assume that commitment, she may want to consider giving the baby up for adoption or more correctly, making an adoption plan for the child.
