Adoption Adoption Process Adoptive Parent Birthmother

HOW CAN I BE CERTAIN I WON’T MAKE A MISTAKE IN CHOOSING WHICH FAMILY ADOPTS, IF I PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

Great Question and a reason you should work with an experienced, ethical adoption professional, whether it is a national adoption agency, local adoption agency, or adoption professionals like the adoption law firm of Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (Kirsh & Kirsh). The four Kirsh attorneys have over 100 years of combined legal experience arranging adoptions. Also, Kirsh & Kirsh has been in existence since 1981 and has over 600 5-star Google reviews. 

Secondly, you should consider a wide variety of prospective adoptive parents. It is not likely you would marry the first person you dated! If your best friend tells you that she knows a family who wants to adopt and you choose that family, you have based your decision on the recommendation of, perhaps, a well-intentioned friend, but probably not a person qualified to determine if her friend has the qualifications to adopt much less provide the necessary opportunities, support, and guidance for your child to live a productive, happy life.  Again, the experience of Kirsh & Kirsh will provide you with additional peace of mind.

Thirdly, adoption professionals like Kirsh & Kirsh will give you the opportunity to read about, talk with, and even meet prospective adoptive parents, if you wish. Trust your instincts. It will not take long for you to feel a connection with prospective adoptive parents or not. 

Lastly, and most importantly you need to understand that in life, there are no guarantees about anything. Frankly, if you are being honest with yourself, you will realize there are no guarantees that if you decide to parent your child, you will have made the best decision for your child. All you can do with any important life-decision is gather as much information as possible, trust your instincts, and have faith that things will work out for the best.

I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN LIVE WITH MYSELF IF I GIVE MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION

Not long ago, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), an expectant mother completed our contact form requesting information about adoption. In the comment section, she expressed concern if she could live with herself if she give her baby up for adoption or, more correctly, as adoption professionals would say, made an adoption plan for her baby. She conveyed a concern many, if not all, birth mothers share. BUT, the question applies equally to the following two options a woman with an unintended pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, or untimely pregnancy has:

  1. Will I be able to live with myself if I have an abortion? Abortion ends the pregnancy but not the fact of having been pregnant. 
  2. Will I be able to live with myself if I decide to parent my child and cannot provide for my child in the way I think he or she deserves?  

Many of life’s decisions do not have an easy or even good solution. Occasionally, we must choose the least bad alternative or the lesser of evils. That may very well be how a birth mother who does not feel prepared for the fact that she is pregnant will have to reach a decision. However, and we cannot make this point strongly enough, she should not put off deciding hoping her dilemma will disappear. It will not.

IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, CAN I RECEIVE LIVING EXPENSES OR MONEY FOR THE BABY?

Receiving living expenses and getting money for the baby are NOT the same. Neither Indiana nor any other state allows adoptive parents to give a birth mother money for the baby. In fact, doing so would constitute the crime of “baby selling” in many states. As an example, Indiana Code § 35-46-1-9 makes it a felony to receive or pay moneyfor the baby. However, like many states, Indiana allows adoptive parents to give a birth mother or an expectant mother living expenses to help her with her pregnancy-related expenses during her pregnancy and for the postpartum period. 

If you have an untimely pregnancy or unplanned pregnancy and are thinking about giving your baby up for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for your young child or newborn and would like more information about living expenses or to explore adoption, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C.

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.

CAN I SPEND TIME WITH THE BABY IN THE HOSPITAL/DO I HAVE TO SEE THE BABY AT THE HOSPITAL IF I GIVE THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

A birth mother has the sole right to decide how much, if any, time she spends with her baby in the hospital if she gives the baby up for adoption or, more correctly, makes an adoption plan for the baby. Neither under Indiana law nor the law of any other state can a woman sign a binding consent to adoption BEFORE she gives birth. Before signing a consent to adoption, the birth mother has total CONTROL, in the hospital, over how much time, if any, she chooses to spend with her baby. If an adoption agency or adoption attorney tells her otherwise, she needs to look for another adoption attorney or adoption agency to help her facilitate her adoption plan. We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) respect a woman’s right to spend all of the time she wants with her baby in the hospital BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER she signs her consent to adoption. The adoptive parents represented by Kirsh & Kirsh understand that all women have different ways of saying goodbye to their babies. While nothing they do will make the goodbye EASY, they know that making her feel guilty about wanting to spend time with her baby or rushing a birth mother will make the process MORE DIFFICULT.

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.

I DID NOT WANT TO BE PREGNANT. WHAT CAN I DO IF I CAN’T GET AN ABORTION?

Let’s start with two obvious facts: (1) You cannot undo the fact that you ARE pregnant, and (2) you will give birth to a baby. None of us can change the past. What has happened has already happened — as the expression goes, “You can’t unring the bell.” You need to change your focus to how to make the best of what you consider a bad situation, if you are not happy about being pregnant. Most importantly, you are now responsible for the life of an innocent child, and you need to make the best decision for him or her. 

For most women facing an untimely pregnancy or unplanned pregnancy, they intentionally or unintentionally (by not making other plans) decide to parent the child. In most situations that decision works out well for the mother and child. For those successfully parenting women, who did not plan to get pregnant, they take on the challenge of parenting a child for the rest of their lives and do it well. 

However, not everyone has the desire, skill, and resources to dedicate their lives to the responsibility of raising a child. For those women, they need to look for other alternatives. Some will find that their parents will happily, or out of a sense of obligation to a grandchild, take on the responsibility parenting the child. 

Another alternative, which does not get nearly enough attention, is to put the baby up for adoption, or, more correctly, to make an adoption plan for the child. Nothing will change the fact of the pregnancy, but giving newborn the gift of a loving, secure, happy home and adoptive parents, desperate for a child, the gift of parenthood may just be the best way to turn a bad, even hopeless, situation into the best outcome for all involved, including the birth mother. Not often can any of us change the lives of others in a meaningful way. To give a child the opportunity for a productive happy life and adoptive parents a child to nurture and love is a close to God-like as anything one human can do for another.

I AM THINKING ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION AND WANT AN OPEN ADOPTION

We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), were the first among adoption attorneys and local adoption agencies in Indiana to offer expectant mothers and birth mothers open adoptions. Still today, in each adoption, we tailor the degree of openness to meet the needs of the adoptive parents and birth mother. The more open an adoption, the greater the degree of trust which must exist between the birth mother and adoptive parents. Open adoption is not a concept in which “one size fits all.” The most successful open adoptions are those which develop as the adoptive parents and birth mother get to know and feel comfortable with each other. In the adoptions which Kirsh & Kirsh arrange, we caution our clients, the prospective adoptive parents, to make promises to birth mothers they cannot, or do not intend to, keep. We prefer to have them take it slow to avoid disappointing their birth mother by not providing the degree of openness she expects.

WHAT IF I AM NOT READY TO RAISE A BABY, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS CANNOT HELP, AND I CANNOT GET AN ABORTION

With the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade, some states, like Tennessee and Mississippi, may significantly reduce, if not eliminate, access to abortion as a way of family planning. In those states, a woman facing an untimely pregnancy or unplanned pregnancy, who does not have the support of friends and family and knows that she cannot commit to the lifetime responsibility of parenting a child may find putting the baby up for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for her unborn baby provides a good, if not better, alternative to aborting the baby. “Better” in the sense that few people can say that they CHANGED THE LIVES OF ANOTHER PERSON in any significant way. Giving a family a baby that cannot get pregnant is the most amazing gift one person can give another. It is as close to “God-Like” as any other human endeavor. As any woman who has given up a baby for adoption will tell you, the gifts to the child, the adoptive parents, and herself (knowing that her baby is okay and loved) by no means makes the decision easy. IT IS NOT EASY! But neither is parenting or aborting a baby easy.

If you would like to look into 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 ourselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

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.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST ME, IF I PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

If you choose to work with Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) or most other local adoption agencies or national adoption agencies, IT WILL NOT COST YOU ANYTHING! Furthermore, in many states, prospective adoptive parents can help you with living expenses for such things as food, rent, utilities, transportation, and maternity clothes, as well as medical and counseling expenses relating to your pregnancy.

We, at Kirsh & Kirsh — or the “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh are sometimes called – Steve, and his brothers, Rob and Joel, 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.
