Taking Your Time is Okay
Adoption is a big decision. Everyone has doubts, and it’s normal to feel uncertain. That’s why our team at Kirsh & Kirsh (often misspelled as “Kirsch & Kirsch” or “Krish & Krish”) is here to provide guidance and support without pressure.
We will help you understand your options, create a plan, and feel confident in your choice, whether you are just starting to consider adoption or are ready to take the next step.
Creating Your Adoption Plan
If you decide adoption is the right choice, the next step is making an adoption plan. This plan gives you control and allows you to make decisions about your baby’s future.
Here’s what you can decide:
Type of Adoption:
- Open adoption: Ongoing contact with your child and adoptive family
- Semi-open adoption: Updates through letters, photos, or emails
- Closed adoption: No contact
Choosing the Adoptive Family
You can review profiles of waiting families, learn about their values and lifestyles, and select the family with whom you feel most comfortable. You may even meet them in person —without any obligation to proceed.
Birth Plan
You can outline your hospital preferences, including who will be present in the delivery room and how you would like your first moments with your baby to unfold.
Emotional Support Throughout Your Journey
Adoption is a deeply emotional journey. We provide resources, therapy, and support groups during pregnancy and after placement. Remember: adoption isn’t about “giving up” your baby—it’s about making a loving, thoughtful choice for their future.
The Placement
Placement happens after your baby is born, once you’ve had time to recover and sign the necessary consent forms. The timing and legal requirements vary by state.
During placement, you may spend time with your chosen family, say goodbye privately, or begin a relationship with them if you’ve chosen an open adoption.
Life After Placement
Your adoption journey doesn’t end after placement. Post-placement support is vital. In open adoption, you may continue receiving updates, photos, or visits with your child. Even in a closed adoption, many birthparents find comfort knowing they made a decision rooted in love and hope.

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.
