MY BEST FRIEND WANTS TO ADOPT MY BABY IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION 

On first thought, this seems like an attractive option for a woman considering giving up her baby for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for the baby. Obviously, the birth mother knows the prospective adoptive parent and can be like a fly on the wall watching the child grow up. However, before making that decision, there are a few questions you might want to ask yourself: Of all of the prospective adoptive parents in the WORLD, is your best friend the best possible adoptive home you can imagine for your baby, or are you considering your best friend because she is your best friend or because you want the baby close? Would it be better to think about what is in your child’s best interests rather than your friend’s best interests or even your best interests?

Other important questions — what will happen to your relationship with your best friend if she thinks your child still looks at you, rather than her, as a mom? What if she is not okay with lying to the child about your true identity as the child’s mother rather than a “friend?”

As parents, our most important role is to protect our children and help them achieve their full potential. For some birth parents, they decide that adoption is in the best interests of their children.

IF I PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION, CAN ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”) HELP ME FIND AN ADOPTIVE HOME FOR MY BABY?

Yes! Not only does Kirsh & Kirsh represent lots of wonderful, thoroughly-investigated, carefully-screened, loving prospective adoptive parents, you can have as LITTLE OR AS MUCH involvement in choosing the adoptive family as you would like. Some expectant mothers and birth mothers want to review profiles of families, including their photos and information about them, text/talk or even meet prospective adoptive parents, and others want us to pick the family for them based upon their requests for the type of family who adopts or just wants us to pick the best possible family for their baby. We at Kirsh & Kirsh try to simplify the process for birth parents and expectant mothers as much as possible. We do not require ongoing, face-to-face meetings with us. Of course, we will make all arrangements for the adoption in a way that satisfies all ethical and legal requirements, but you will have as much control as you would like to have.

IF I CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION AND DCS GETS INVOLVED AFTER I GIVE BIRTH, AND THEN I DECIDE TO GIVE THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION, CAN I STILL DO IT?

Unfortunately, probably not. Once the Indiana Department of Child Services, Kentucky Division of Child Care, Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services, Tennessee Department of Children Services, Michigan Children’s Protective Services, or Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (to make it simple we will refer to that department in any state as “DCS”) gets involved, DCS will likely make all decisions regarding your baby. Not typically do those decisions include allowing you, as the birth mother, to have a say in who adopts your baby or even whether you can place your baby for adoption. Your best bet if you think that DCS will get involved because have other open DCS cases or you have used drugs during your pregnancy, you should give a lot of thought to what you believe is best for you and your baby. If you want DCS to put your baby in a foster home and provide services to you to enable DCS to reunite you with the child, then you should not proceed with an adoption. On the other hand, if want your baby to go to forever home, with your input, you should contact an adoption agency or adoption professionals like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) before DCS assumes control over your baby at the hospital. If you and the baby are still in the hospital and DCS has already intervened, contact us at Kirsh & Kirsh. We may be able to help but don’t get your hopes up. 

If you would like to explore adoption, we, at 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, have 90 years of combined legal experience arranging adoptions and pride themselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

IF I PLAN TO PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, DO I HAVE TO MEET WITH SOMEONE, OR CAN I DO EVERYTHING ELECTRONICALLY IF I WORK WITH ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”)?

Answer: Whatever works for you! We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, tailor each adoption to the needs of the birth mother and adoptive parents rather than handling all adoptions the same. As long as the arrangements meet all ethical and legal standards, we will facilitate each adoption in a way that puts the parties most at ease. We know planning an adoption causes stress. Nothing we do will make adoption EASY, but we can make the process EASIER by being flexible. Accordingly, if you want to “meet” with us by Zoom, FaceTime, telephone, email, text, or any other manner that allows us to share information with you and you with us, we will make the arrangements in that way. Very importantly, remember that NOTHING a birth mother does prior to signing a consent to adoption, which she cannot do until after she gives birth, obligates her to proceed with an adoption – no matter how she chooses to communicate with us.

IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, WHY DO I HAVE TO FILL OUT A BACKGROUND FORM?

Completing a background form serves three purposes. It helps the adoption attorney, national adoption agency, or local adoption agency find the best possible family for your baby if you decide to give up your baby for adoption or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for the baby. As an example, if a particular illness runs in your family, the adoption agency or adoption attorney would try to find a family who has the resources to provide for the child if the child develops that condition. Also, if you work with an experienced adoption law firm like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), you will see that their background form not only includes extensive medical history questions but also personal information about the birth parents. We at Kirsh & Kirsh believe that your child will be curious about the personal information about you well before the child cares about your medical history. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, every birth parent, on some level, wonders what the child will think of them for having placed the child for adoption. A parent who fully and carefully completes a detailed background form will show the child by taking the time to complete the form, the birth parent loved the child and only wanted what was best for the child.

IF I DON’T LIVE IN INDIANA AND WORK WITH ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”), WHERE WILL THE ADOPTIVE PARENTS LIVE?

In most cases, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, file all adoptions in Indiana because Indiana has very favorable adoption laws. To file an adoption in Indiana, we need an Indiana connection to the adoption – the adoptive parents or birth mother need to live in Indiana.  Among other benefits to birth mothers, Indiana adoption law allows a birth mother to sign her consent to adoption any time after the birth of the child, does NOT require the birth parents to physically go to court to give their consents to the adoption, and a birth mother does NOT have to identify the father of the child. Therefore, if an expectant mother from outside of Indiana, who wants to look into putting her baby up for adoption, or, more correctly making an adoption plan for her unborn baby, contacts us, we will try to match her with one of our waiting, prospective adoptive parent families from Indiana.

I AM SCARED TO LOOK INTO ADOPTION. I DON’T WANT MY CHILD TO HATE ME IF I PUT THE CHILD UP FOR ADOPTION. 

It is safe to say that no parent wants their child to hate them. Unfortunately, as any parent of a teenager will tell you, some children (particularly during their teenaged years) hate their parents for all kinds of reasons, real and imagined. No matter what decision a parent makes when it comes to parenting their child, there is no guarantee that the child will not disagree with the parent’s action. Parents should not make decisions for their children based upon a hope that their children will like or approve of the decisions. Parents need to make decisions based upon what the parent believes serves the child’s best interests. If a woman with an untimely pregnancy or unplanned pregnancy believes that giving her baby up for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for the child gives the child the best opportunity to live a productive life and reach his or her full potential, then the birth parent needs to take that action regardless of the child’s feelings about the decision. By the way, many adopted children love their birth parents for having put the child’s need above the birth parents’ own breaking hearts. 

As adoption attorneys, Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), have seen over nearly the last 40 years the love for their children birth mother have demonstrated in assuring their children a bright future by selecting adoptive parents who cannot wait to welcome a child into their homes and hearts and will devote every moment of their lives to the success and happiness of their child. There is nothing more “motherly” than placing a child’s needs above those of the parent. 

Giving up a child for adoption is scary. There is nothing easy about it, but working with a local adoption agency, national adoption agency, or a reputable, compassionate, experienced adoption law firm, like Kirsh & Kirsh, with over 90 years of combined legal experience working with birth mothers and expectant mothers, can make it easier. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, will not pressure you, make you feel badly about whatever choice you make, or try to involve ourselves in your personal affairs.

I AM NOT READY TO PARENT MY BABY AND BELIEVE I SHOULD PUT THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION, BUT THE BABY DADDY WILL NOT RESPOND TO ME. WHAT CAN I DO?

If you contact an Indiana-based adoption law firm like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), whether you live in Indiana or outside of Indiana, you can take advantage of Indiana law which provides birth mothers options for fathers who will not respond to their text messages or calls. One such law is “Pre-birth Notice.” Basically, if an adoption agency or adoption attorney can arrange for the named, birth father to “actually” receive the notice (in other words, put it in his hand) prior to the birth of the baby and the father does not respond to the notice within 30 days of his receipt of it, further notice of the adoption and the father’s consent to the adoption are not needed. Very importantly, this can be done BEFORE the baby’s birth, does NOT require him to sign ANYTHING, and does not require the birth mother to give up her baby for adoption, or, more correctly, make an adoption plan, if he does not respond. The “Pre-birth Notice” Statute has proven useful in dealing with uncooperative alleged fathers. By the way, the statute does NOT require the mother to know for sure that the man to whom the notice is given really is the father. Therefore, if it is possible that more than one man could be the father of the baby, the notice can be given to each of them. 

If you would like more information about Pre-birth Notice, your other options regarding the father of the baby, or would like to explore adoption, we, at 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.

WHAT CONSTITUTES RAPE OR INCEST FOR THE PURPOSE OF INDIANA’S NEW ABORTION LAW?

Indiana Code § 16-34-2-1 permits a woman to abort a baby during the first 10 weeks of her pregnancy if she got pregnant as a result of rape or incest. While Indiana’s new abortion law does not require a conviction or even a reporting of the rape or incest by the pregnant woman, Indiana Code § 16-18-2-306.7 expands the definition of “rape or incest” to include a child conceived as a result of child molesting (IC § 35-42-4-3), child seduction (IC § 35-42-4-7), and sexual misconduct with a minor (IC § 35-42-4-9).

However, other provisions of Indiana Law such as IC §§ 31-32-11-1 and 31-33-5-1 may impose on the doctor the obligation to report to the department of child services or local law enforcement agency suspected child abuse or neglect. Incest, child molestation, child seduction, and sexual misconduct with a minor may fall into the category of reportable offenses. 

Additionally, IC § 16-34-2-1 (a)(2)(D) requires the doctor to certify in writing to the surgical center or hospital all facts and reasons supporting the physician’s certification, which presumably includes facts about the rape or incest. 

Finally, a doctor who performs an abortion without complying with IC § 16-34-2-1 commits a criminal act, which could subject the doctor to criminal and civil penalties and forfeiture of their license to practice medicine. The reporting requirements imposed on the physician under § 16-34-2-5 seem designed to substantiate how abortion fits within the exceptions of the total abortion ban imposed by Indiana law. 

A woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, unwanted pregnancy, or untimely pregnancy has alternatives to parenting the baby, which include giving the baby up for adoption or more correctly, making an adoption plan for the 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 moms’ search results on Google.
