HOW DO I KNOW ADOPTIVE PARENTS REPRESENTED BY ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”) WILL BE A GOOD FAMILY?

We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, understand that every woman facing an untimely unplanned pregnancy, who thinks about putting up her baby for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for the baby, wonders the same thing. In fact, if a birth mother is not certain that her newborn will have a happy, loving, and safe home, she will not proceed with an adoption. This is true whether she works with adoption professionals like Kirsh & Kirsh, a national adoption agency, or a local adoption agency. Even before Indiana Adoption Law made a pre-placement Homestudy and evaluation of prospective adoptive parents a prerequisite to adopting, Kirsh & Kirsh required prospective adoptive parents to undergo evaluation, assessment, and investigation before Kirsh & Kirsh would help them adopt a child. One of the attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh, usually Steve Kirsh, who has 40 years of experience handling adoptions in Indiana, meets with new, prospective adoptive parents, and among other things decides if Kirsh & Kirsh will assist them in adopting a child. If the family chooses to hire Kirsh & Kirsh to help them adopt, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, have them contact an independent, adoption agency to do a personal and home evaluation of them as adoptive parents. Additionally, the agency performs child abuse, criminal, FBI fingerprint, and sexual offender checks of the family. If the agency does not approve the family for adoptive placement, Kirsh & Kirsh will not represent them in adoption proceedings. Lastly, Kirsh & Kirsh offers all birth mothers and expectant mothers the opportunity to meet, in person, the prospective adoptive parents and decide for themselves whether they trust the family with their soon-to-be-born or newborn baby.

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.

I AM NERVOUS ABOUT MEETING IN PERSON. DO I HAVE TO MEET ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”) TO PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION?

No, you do not have to meet anyone from Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, in person, if you would like to learn about giving your baby up for adoption. We are flexible and will explain what’s involved in an adoption in any way you will find helpful – FaceTime, Zoom, text, chat, telephone, email, etc. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, have found that mistaken beliefs and lack of information about adoption are two main reasons why more women do not consider giving up their babies for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for their newborns. We want to provide a woman facing untimely or unplanned pregnancy information in whatever way she is most comfortable receiving it so she can make a well-informed, knowing decision that best serves the baby’s best interests and her own needs. Of course, we are also happy to meet in person in our office, her home, or anywhere in-between.

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. They cannot make adoption an easy choice, but they can make it less scary by removing some of the unknowns. Ultimately, a birth parent will have to decide if adoption is in their own best interests and the best interests of their child. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, will not and cannot make that decision for anyone, but we can provide information and answers to questions.

Our contact information is below. We will answer your questions and provide you the information you seek, without cost or obligation on your part. In other words, talking to us is FREE and does NOT mean you ever have to talk or text with us, again. The Kirsh Boys have 90 YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE practicing adoption law. We can help you find an AMAZING, WONDERFUL, adoptive home for your precious baby, whether you live in Lebanon or Indianapolis, Bloomington or Shelbyville, Sullivan or Terre Haute or any Indiana county or city in between, or ANYWHERE in Tennessee, Mississippi, or Kentucky.

DO ADOPTIVE PARENTS HAVE TO LIVE IN INDIANA TO ADOPT A CHILD BORN IN INDIANA?

No, but that was the answer before July 1, 2021, when HB 1448 went into effect. Prior to July 1^st, non-residents of Indiana could adopt babies born in Indiana, but the adoption had to take place in their home state unless the child met the definition of “hard to place.” HB 1448 eliminated the residency requirement of the adoption code in Indiana, previously codified at Indiana Code 31-19-2-2, which provided that a “resident of Indiana” may file a petition for adoption in Indiana courts. With the change made by HB 1448, the statute now states that “an individual” who seeks to adopt may file a petition for adoption in those courts.

The adoption laws in Indiana rank among the best in the country, in large part, because of the bipartisan efforts of the Democrats and Republicans in the Indiana General Assembly. Several, if not most, adoption bills enacted in Indiana receive near unanimous support in the General Assembly. As an example, HB 1448 passed the Senate 49-1 and the House 92-0.

By eliminating the residency requirement in Indiana, lawmakers gave birth mothers, if they decided to give their babies up for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan for their babies, in Indiana, a wider range of families from whom to choose by making it easier for out-of-state families to adopt.
