I PLAN TO PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION BUT DO NOT WANT THE BABY TO GO INTO THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM

There are two ways can assure yourself that your baby will not go into foster care. Make sure the Department of Child Services in Indiana or a similar agency in your home state does not intervene in the adoption. Even if you have had other run-ins with DCS or used drugs during your pregnancy, if you make arrangements to give up your baby for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan for your baby either within the first few hours after giving birth or before you deliver, you can probably avoid DCS involvement, which always involves foster care. The way to eliminate the possibility of your baby going to a foster home is to work with adoption professionals like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”). The adoptions which Kirsh & Kirsh arranges NEVER involve a baby going into the foster care system. On the other hand, if you want to utilize foster care, you should contact a national adoption agency or a local adoption agency. While adoption agencies rarely use foster care, they license foster parents. 

The four adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh have over 100 years of combined legal experience arranging adoptions.  Kirsh & Kirsh has been in existence since 1981. As attorneys, we at Kirsh & Kirsh, have very high standards for the prospective adoptive parents we choose to represent. In most situations, we can provide you with as many profiles of prospective adoptive parents as you would like to receive. All of our waiting families are carefully screened and thoroughly investigated. We will arrange for you to have contact with the family you choose on your terms, without families trying to reach you at all hours of the day or night. 

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 pride themselves 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 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. We can help you in finding an AMAZING, WONDERFUL, adoptive home for your precious baby, whether you live in Noblesville or Indianapolis, Columbus or Bedford, Jasper or Evansville, East Chicago or South Bend, Michigan City or Ft. Wayne, or any Indiana county or city in between, or ANYWHERE in Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Michigan, or Illinois.

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. You make all the choices about which family adopts your baby and the extent of contact you want after the child’s birth.

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 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.

WILL I EVER SEE THE CHILD AGAIN, IF I GIVE MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

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.

ADOPTION AND ABORTION – THE SIMILARIITES AND DIFFERENCES?

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.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I COMPLETE A CONTACT FORM OR OTHERWISE CONTACT ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”) ABOUT AN UNTIMELY OR UNPLANNED PREGNANCY?

Great question! The brief answer is that you “are driving the bus.” Tell us where you want to go, and we will help you figure out how to get there. You tell us what information you want about our adoption program and giving a baby up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for your newborn baby or child or unborn infant, and we will explain how the process works. Also, you tell us how you want to receive the information – we will text, email, chat, Zoom, talk by telephone, or meet in person. We tailor each adoption plan to the individuals involved. Some birth parents are just “dipping their toes in the water” about adoption and are afraid to communicate with us in any way for fear that doing so will obligate them to put their baby up for adoption or mean that they will be forced to work with us. NOT TRUE! While we are really good at arranging adoptions, we are not so good at reading minds. We cannot tell you how we can help you unless you tell us what you want to know. No two ways about it — the decision to place a child for adoption will be the hardest decision you will ever make. The decision is hard no matter what, even when you are equipped with all of the information about the process. But it can become overwhelmingly difficult—perhaps even impossible—if you don’t have ANY information, or if you have incorrect information. If you contact us, we will respond. If you tell us what you want to know, we will tell you. We will NOT pressure you, try to talk you into adoption, or make you feel bad about yourself.

Our contact information is below.  We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, 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. Our adoption attorneys 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 Wabash or Indianapolis, Rensselaer or Bloomington, Evansville or Sullivan, or Lafayette or Ft. Wayne, or any Indiana county or city in between, or ANYWHERE in Tennessee, Mississippi, or Kentucky.

IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, DO I HAVE TO SEE OR TAKE CARE OF THE BABY IN THE HOSPITAL?

No. Every birth mother who gives her baby up for adoption, or more correctly, makes an adoption plan for her baby, comes to peace with her decision in her own way. We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., will honor whatever decision you make regarding seeing and/or caring for the baby in the hospital. If a birth mother opts not to do so, the prospective adoptive parents or hospital nursery nurses are more than happy to change, hold, feed, and nurture the baby. As obvious as it may sound, a woman, facing an untimely pregnancy and thinking about adoption, should void all of those things that make the decision harder and do all of those things that make her decision easier. Whether or not to see the baby is one of those choices. Over the years handling adoptions, we have found that most women choose to see the baby in the hospital, but adoption is a uniquely personal decision, and even though most women choose to see their babies, not all women make that choice. We make counseling available to the women who contact us about adoption. Frankly, we encourage (but do NOT require) counseling. Discussing with a counselor whether to see the baby may help an expectant mother to decide what is best for her.

I FEAR CHANGING MY MIND. CAN I SIGN A CONSENT TO ADOPTION BEFORE THE BABY IS BORN?

Expectant mothers, thinking about placing their baby up for adoption, ask us, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) this question often. We prefer to think of giving up a baby for adoption as making an adoption plan for a baby. Some women want to sign a consent to adoption before they give birth, so they won’t make a last-minute, emotional decision to take the baby home from the hospital. While Indiana law permits the father of an unborn child to consent to the adoption of the child, it does not allow the birth mother to sign a consent to adoption prior to birth. This is true whether a local adoption agency, national adoption agency or an adoption attorney handles the adoption. In Indiana, the same laws apply to adoptions arranged by all adoption professionals.

But, speaking to a counselor helps many expectant mothers focus on their reasons for adoption and gives them the tools to deal with their emotions. The counselors recommended by Kirsh & Kirsh will NOT tell an expectant mother what to do, how to think, or how to feel, but will help her think about all of her options so that she can make the best possible decision for her newborn and herself.

We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, have helped numerous birth parents with adoptions over the last 35+ years of the firm’s existence. We tailor each adoption to the circumstances of the birth parents and adoptive parents involved rather than strictly following a set policy and will try to accommodate your wishes regarding all aspects of the adoption, including the timing of the consent signing. If you want to leave the hospital as soon as possible after birth, we will meet you at the hospital, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including all holidays. On the other hand, we will NEVER rush or pressure you to sign a consent to adoption.

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 costs you nothing nor does it mean you ever have to talk or text with us, again. We can assist you with an Indiana adoption no matter whether you live in Fort Wayne or Newburgh, Greencastle or Shelbyville, Lafayette or Bluffton, or any Indiana county or city in between.

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.

WHY WOULD ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, PC (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), USE THE WORDS -“GIVE UP A BABY FOR ADOPTION” RATHER THAN “MAKE AN ADOPTION PLAN FOR A BABY”?

We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, as adoption professionals in Indiana for more than 35 years and having assisted with numerous successful newborn adoptions, respect the sacrificial love of birth mothers who put aside their own needs to take care of the needs of their children. We know that whether a birth parent goes to a baby adoption agency or adoption law firm like Kirsh & Kirsh, a birth parent, who places a child for adoption, makes an “adoption plan” for their child.

We write these blog posts as we do to use language that people use when searching for help with their adoption plans.  While we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, understand what positive adoption language means, most expectant moms that come to us, at first, do not. The most common search phrase on the Internet for expectant moms is “How do I give up my baby for adoption”.  If we do not include those phrases in our blog posts, and instead use “How do I make an adoption plan for my baby,” then our website will not show up in most expectant mom’s search results in Google.

If you would like free, no-obligation information about how to give a child up for adoption, or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for your precious baby, please contact us. We will answer your questions, without cost or obligation on your part. In other words, talking to us costs you nothing nor does it mean you ever have to talk or text with us, again.

IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, DO I HAVE TO TELL THE FATHER OF THE BABY?

In most cases, the answer is “No.” Expectant mothers and birth mothers have asked us, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), this question from one end of Indiana to the other — from New Albany, Sellersburg, Clarksville to Gary, Hammond, Valparaiso; from Vincennes, Jasper, Huntingburg, and Evansville to Auburn, Angola, Huntington, Ft. Wayne; and from Indianapolis, Muncie, New Castle, Seymour, and Richmond to Terre Haute, Sullivan, Greenfield, Danville. For those birth mothers in Indiana, the Indiana Adoption laws – statutes and cases  — allow a woman not to identify the father of baby unless the father of the baby has formally established paternity by means of a paternity affidavit or a legal proceeding called a paternity action or she is married to the father of the baby. In our 35+ years of experience handling adoptions throughout Indiana, we rarely see “legal” fathers, those men who have established legal paternity of the child or who are married to the mother of the baby. Most of the men involved in newborn adoptions in Indiana are unwed fathers – in other words, not married to the expectant mother of the baby.

Under Indiana law, the mother of the child does not have to involve or even identify the father of the baby. If she does not, the father of the baby must register with the Putative Father Registry in Indiana prior to filing a petition for adoption or 30 days from birth, whichever occurs first, in order to receive notice of the adoption. Neither the birth mother, the adoption agency, nor the attorney for the adoptive parents must inform the father of the baby of an adoption, the birth of the baby, or even the pregnancy.

We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, have assisted numerous pregnant women, in Indiana and around the country, to 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.
