They are the same in some ways but VERY different in what is, perhaps, the most important way.

The similarities include:

  1. Both are very personal decisions.
  2. Both are readily available and legal, in most places.
  3. The birth parents do not have the responsibility for raising the child.
  4. Neither changes the fact that the expectant mother conceived a child and is pregnant.
  5. Both are unforgettable experiences.
  6. They cannot be “undone.”
  7. No matter what decision you make — some will agree with you and some will criticize you.

The differences include:

  1. In an adoption, the birth mother carries the baby for nine months and then leaves the hospital without the baby, while an abortion immediately terminates the pregnancy.
  2. Few people understand how a woman can “give away her baby” through adoption, yet at the same time, nearly ½ of the people living in the United States STRONGLY believe that abortion is “okay.”
  3. Abortion does not give the child an opportunity to live life nor fulfill his or her or his destiny.
  4. Adoption demonstrates a birth mother’s (parent’s) sacrificial love for her/their child by putting the child’s life ahead of her/their own desires, needs, and wants.
  5. In adoption, the child lives.

The “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., 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.

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.

Because of the large number of prospective adoptive parents whom we represent, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), have many, carefully screened, loving families who would welcome in their hearts and homes a drug-addicted or drug-exposed newborn, even if the baby needed to stay in NICU for several days, while the baby went through drug withdrawals. We know that expectant mothers who consider adoption and birth mothers who give up their babies for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan, for their babies, are heroes! Many of our moms try to quit using drugs when they find out they are pregnant. Some succeed. Some do not. We have a pool of waiting families who have told us a birth mother’s drug use and a baby’s addiction to drugs like Heroin and Meth will not stop them from wanting to adopt and providing the child with whatever special care the baby will need throughout the child’s life.

Also, it is important to know that hospitals must contact the child protection agency and/or department of children services when a baby is born with drugs in her or his system. If we get involved prior to, or immediately, after the child’s birth we can often keep the baby from going into the foster care system.

NO WORRIES!  We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), do not make having Medicaid or Insurance a requirement for us to help an expectant mother or birth mother give up her baby for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan for her baby. We work with a company that will assist you with the Medicaid paperwork, without cost to you. In that way, if you decide to parent, rather than proceed with an adoption, you will have Medicaid to help with your medical expenses. If you place your baby for adoption in our adoption program but do not qualify for Medicaid, the family who adopts your baby will cover your pregnancy-related, medical expenses.
