Whether you live in Indiana or outside of Indiana, if you work with us, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), in all likelihood, we would file the adoption in Indiana. Indiana Adoption Laws make adoption court records STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Additionally, Indiana Adoption Laws do not require you to involve anyone in the adoption whom you do not want to involve. That includes the unwed father of the child. If you are married, you may still not have to involve your husband, if he is not the biological father of the child.

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 ourselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

Our contact information is below. We will answer your questions and provide you with 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 in finding an AMAZING, WONDERFUL, adoptive home for your precious baby, whether you live in Pendleton or Indianapolis, Bloomington or North Vernon, Evansville or Madison, or South Bend or Shipshewana, Muncie or Ft. Wayne, or any Indiana county or city in between, or ANYWHERE in Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, or Michigan.

There is always a family waiting to love your child. We have lots of family options from which you can choose, all of whom are wonderful, carefully screened, loving families, FROM INDIANA AND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY (married, single, Lesbian, and Gay) who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their hearts and homes and are happy to assist with living expenses to the fullest extent allowed by law.

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.

Yes, probably, but no one can give a guaranteed “Yes” to that question. However, at Adoption Attorneys, Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), over the last nearly 40 years of handing adoptions in Indiana and beyond, almost never does an adult adoptee tell us that he or she would not welcome meeting their birth parents. On the other hand, with all due respect, the answer to that question should not dictate whether a birth mother or birth father will put up their child for adoption or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for the child. The birth parents’ life situations either make adoption a high probability way of assuring that their child will have a world of opportunities and a bright future, or they do not.

We, at 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. We cannot make adoption an easy choice, but we 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 – that way, you can make a well-informed decision.

Yes, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh are lawyers, and, YES, we can help you find a wonderful, loving, amazing home for your soon-to-be-born baby or precious newborn if you choose to put the baby up for adoption, or better said, make an adoption plan for your baby. Also, we will take care of all of the arrangements including helping you with living expenses, getting you qualified for Medicaid, letting you choose at what hospital you would like to deliver and which doctor you want to see and, arrange for you to speak with a counselor (if, and only, if you wish), and have your own attorney to give you legal advice, all without any cost to you. You can even decide not to proceed with a planned adoption any time up until you sign a consent to adoption, which can only happen after you give birth to the baby.

We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), cannot speak for local adoption agencies or national adoption agencies, but over the 35+ years and the numerous successful adoptions we have arranged, we have NEVER walked away from a sick baby. We have had babies with cerebral palsy, hemophilia, Down Syndrome, and even one baby who was not expected to live more than a few months, among other medical issues. In every situation we have seen, we have found loving, forever homes for the baby.

We have lots of wonderful, carefully screened, loving families (married, single, Lesbian, and Gay) who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their hearts and homes and are happy to assist with living expenses to the full extent allowed by law.

Yes, definitely! Often our Birth Mother Coordinator, Rachel, participates in initial meetings with expectant mothers and birth mothers, considering putting their babies up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for their babies. It will most likely be Rachel who will respond to your first chat, text, email, or call to Kirsh & Kirsh, whether you are in Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, or Kentucky. Although Rachel is not an attorney, because of her age – “thirty something,” many birth mothers find it easy to chat or talk with her. Additionally, Rachel is very nice, has lots of experience, and does not make judgments about people.

At Kirsh & Kirsh, we know adoption is a very private and personal choice, so we try to make it easy to look into adoption. We have a great team, including people like Rachel, we respond quickly, and we tailor each adoption to the wants and needs of our clients, the hopeful adoptive parents, and the loving, courageous birth parents who contact us, looking for assistance in finding the perfect adoptive home for their precious newborn, soon-to-be-born, or older child.

We have assisted many pregnant women, in Indiana and around the country, over the last 35+ years find loving, happy, wonderful homes for their babies. We give expectant mothers and birth mothers as much or as little involvement in the family selection process as they would like.

We have lots of wonderful, carefully screened, loving families (married, single, Lesbian, and Gay) who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their hearts and homes and happy to assist with living expenses to the full extent allowed by law.

Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) have handled adoptions for more than 35 years, involving numerous successful placements. Kirsh & Kirsh began its adoption program in Indiana and has since extended its adoption program to provide adoption services to pregnant women in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky.

Last week, I, Steve Kirsh, had a birth mother sign a consent to adoption. I then went to the birth mother’s nurses’ station to give the nurses the chart copies of the documents the hospital needed. After reviewing each document with the charge nurse, the charge nursed asked Mary (not her real name), another OB nurse standing nearby in the nurse’s station, if she wanted to share anything with me. Mary then told me that when she was 19 years old, I met her at a hospital in Northeast Indiana to have her sign a consent to adoption for the baby she placed a baby for adoption through the Kirsh & Kirsh Adoption Program. Mary recounted that after giving up her baby for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for her baby, she graduated from college with a degree in nursing. She became a registered nurse, with advanced training in sub-specialty of maternity care. She and her husband (not the father of the baby) have been married for 20 years. Mary and her husband have 2 children. She recently had the chance to meet the child she placed for adoption years earlier, as well as her birth grandchild. She told me that adoption gave her the chance to see that her child would be loved and well cared for, while giving her the chance to realize her own dreams.

If you would like to explore adoption from your home or even from your hospital bed after you deliver, please contact us at Kirsh & Kirsh. We have helped many women find loving, secure, happy homes for their precious newborns. We can help you, too.

We have lots of wonderful, carefully screened, loving families (married, single, Lesbian, and Gay) who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their hearts and homes.

Before directly answering that question, we at Kirsh & Kirsh do not believe that women “give up babies” for adoption. The thoughtful, loving, courageous, and loving expectant mothers and birth mothers, with unplanned or untimely pregnancies, who work with us and are not ready for a child or another child, make adoption plans to provide their precious unborn babies or recently born babies the lives, futures, and opportunities they desperately want for their children. A birth mother who places her baby for adoption gives the adoptive parents the gift of a child and her child the gift of a bright future – incredible gifts!

Because Kirsh & Kirsh is an adoption law firm, rather than an adoption agency, we do not take directives from a Board of Directors. We have one or more attorneys licensed to practice law in Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky. We tailor each adoption we facilitate in a way that works for both the adoptive parents and birth mothers. Furthermore, Kirsh & Kirsh can react and adjust quickly without waiting for Board of Directors to meet, debate, and formulate a new policy which the director, assistant director, and case workers at the agency must rigidly follow.

For the pregnant women considering adoption, Kirsh & Kirsh historically liked to meet those women in person. In fact, 3 of our 4 lawyers are pilots, making in person meetings relatively easy. But, because of the stay-at-home orders, we have found that “meeting” an expectant mother via text, phone, FaceTime, Skype, or Zoom works well. In fact, we have found many women prefer to “meet” that way. We always want to do want makes the expectant or birth mother feel comfortable.

If you are pregnant and thinking about adoption in Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, or Kentucky, please contact us at the Adoption Law Firm of Kirsh & Kirsh. We have helped numerous women find loving, secure, happy homes for their precious newborns. We can help you, too.

We have lots of wonderful, carefully screened, loving families (married, single, Lesbian, and Gay) who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their hearts and homes and happy to assist with living expenses to the full extent allowed by law.

We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) get asked this question for a variety of reasons, including the father abused the birth mother, said he did not believe he fathered the child, disappeared after learning of the pregnancy, in any case is not ready to be a father, and the like. Sometimes, an expectant mother feels ashamed that she let “this” happen to her and wants to keep everything confidential. Whatever the reason, if you are considering placing your child for adoption, it is critical that you consult with experienced adoption attorneys, like Kirsh & Kirsh, about your specific circumstances before deciding what to do about the father. Kirsh & Kirsh has handled numerous adoptions over the last 35 years. In fact, Adoption Attorney Steve Kirsh, wrote the preliminary drafts of much of Indiana’s adoption laws since the 1980’s and has testified in support of adoption legislation in the Indiana General Assembly on dozens of occasions. In 2006, the Indiana General Assembly passed a resolution in which it “[R]ecognizes Steven Kirsh for his dedication and contribution to the field of adoption both in Indiana and on a national and international level and congratulates him on his receipt of the Angels in Adoption award.”

Robert B. Kirsh, Steve’s brother, handles adoptions for Kirsh & Kirsh in Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Indiana. If you live outside of Indiana but choose an Indiana family to adopt your baby, Kirsh & Kirsh may be able to arrange for the adoption to take advantage of Indiana law which would NOT require you to identify the father of the baby, unless you are married to him or he has otherwise established paternity by a court proceeding or signing a paternity affidavit.
Again, consult an experienced adoption attorney before deciding on a course action. Pursuing other strategies might provide more predictable outcomes. As an example, giving pre-birth notice to the birth father, which we address in another blog, would enable both the expectant mother and adoptive parents to know before birth whether the father will try to stop the adoption. The pre-birth notice option may be available if the baby will be born outside of Indiana but adopted by Indiana adoptive parents. Kirsh & Kirsh represents dozens of prospective adoptive parents who have been carefully screened and investigated and who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their hearts and homes.

Kirsh & Kirsh has helped birth parents finding loving, secure, and happy homes for their precious babies for more than 35 years. We can help you, without cost or obligation on your part. We will always treat you will kindness and respect. Of the many expectant mothers with whom we have worked over years, many, if not most, have needed help paying their with living expenses while they were pregnant and during their postpartum recovery, which is also something we can help with.

If you are asking yourself this question, you should investigate giving up your baby for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for your child. Parenting is a huge, lifelong responsibility – it takes time, commitment, resources (not just money), skill, knowledge, and support. Parents who are prepared for that responsibility do NOT ask themselves if they should consider adoption. They just don’t. It is not on their radar. If it is on yours, keep reading.

If you question your ability to provide your child the life, future, opportunities children deserve, contact an experienced adoption attorney or reputable adoption agency to check into adoption. Do not deceive yourself into thinking that you are ready to parent because you (or with the assistance of others) have a place to live and can buy formula and diapers. Parenting involves much more than feeding, clothing, and sheltering your child. Don’t confuse parenting with baby-sitting.

Think about the life you had as a child. Is that what you want for your child? Are you equipped to provide that life for your child? Do you want more for your child? Do you want to rely on friends and family to provide for your child? Is it their responsibility? Have they reliably helped you in the past?

If you are not 100% certain you are ready to parent, you owe it to yourself, and most importantly, to your child to explore adoption.

In Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Indiana, you have one of the leading adoption professionals in the country in Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”). We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, understand that you face the most difficult decision a mother could face. We will NOT tell you what to do. We will NEVER pressure you. We WILL treat you with kindness and respect, answer your questions, help you with Medicaid (or the equivalent in your state), find an adoption-friendly doctor and hospital, and arrange for you to speak with a counselor and your own attorney, if you wish, all at NO COST to you.
