DO I HAVE TO INVOLVE THE FATHER OF THE BABY IF I AM THINKING ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

The answer depends on the state in which you live and whether you and the father of the baby are married or have been married to each other in roughly the year preceding the birth of the baby.  Because we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), have our main office in Indiana, we can file most of the adoptions we facilitate in Indiana, even if the birth mother or expectant mother lives in Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, or any other state. Indiana has among the best adoption laws in the country. Under Indiana law, an expectant or birth mother does NOT have to identify the father of the child. Indiana law enables a birth father to take the initiative to protect his parental rights if he so desires, by means of the Indiana Putative Father Registry. In 2020, the Indiana General Assembly enacted a bill that extended the concept of the Indiana Putative Father Registry to any state that has its own Putative Father Registry. If a woman conceives a child in any of the twenty-seven states with Putative Father Registries, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, can file the adoption in Indiana and rely on the Putative Father Registry in the state of in which the woman got pregnant to address the birth father’s parental rights, without the birth mother having to identify him. However, under Indiana law, the Putative Father Registry does not apply to those men who have established paternity by in a court action or by executing a paternity affidavit or to husbands of birth mothers.

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.

MY FRIEND SAID THAT PLACING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION IS THE LIKE GIVING THE BABY AWAY

“Giving away” suggests that you are discarding, of getting rid of, your baby, as you might with an old pair of sneakers. A birth mother who has the courage, strength, and fortitude to entrust the life of her precious child to another set of parents is NOT one who has GIVEN AWAY her child. She has put her child’s needs to have a loving, secure, home, with a lifetime of opportunities ahead of her own breaking heart. Several years ago, a birth mother said to us, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”): “I have ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD for my baby, but LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH. I know that given where I am in my life, I will not have the time to give my child the attention that it needs.” At the time, the woman was a full-time nursing student. After placing up her baby for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for her baby, she completed her nursing degree.

If your friend thinks assuring your child will grow up in a happy, loving home with devoted parents who have the resources and time to attend to your child’s wants and needs is “giving away” the baby, your friend needs to rethink their choice of words, or you need to rethink how much weight you give to your friend’s words.

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. 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.

I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION

Very few women who think about giving up their babies for adoption, or more correctly, making adoption plans for their babies actually proceed to make adoption plans for their newborns. For a birth parent to place a baby in an adoptive home, the birth parent must believe and have faith that the adoptive parents can and will provide the child with a loving, secure, and happy home, with a lifetime of opportunities – beyond what they, the birth parents realistically believe they can provide the child. We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), have met with a great number of expectant mothers and birth mothers over the last 35+ years of our firm’s existence. Many more women decide to parent their babies (as is ABSOLUTELY their right) than proceed with adoptions. Interestingly, the ones who make adoption plans are probably the opposite of who most people would think are the likely candidates. The older, more mature, better educated, stable, forward-thinking a woman, the MORE likely she will place her baby for adoption. Those women tend to have a more realistic idea of the time and commitment of parenthood. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, are very selective about the prospective adoptive parents we accept as clients. All are thoroughly investigated by independent adoption agencies.

I AM CONFUSED AND DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION

Not surprising that you are confused! If you have never given up a baby for adoption, or more correctly, made an adoption plan for a baby, how could you possibly know what to do? This is the case because most of the information you get from your friends is probably wrong or biased toward their personal feelings about adoption. The media does not help much either – it only reports on the bad cases, much like it’s reporting about airliners. The media only reports airplane crashes. Apparently, passengers who arrive safely at their destinations do not make interesting stories.

HOW DO I KNOW ADOPTIVE PARENTS REPRESENTED BY ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”) WILL BE A GOOD FAMILY?

We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, understand that every woman facing an untimely unplanned pregnancy, who thinks about putting up her baby for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for the baby, wonders the same thing. In fact, if a birth mother is not certain that her newborn will have a happy, loving, and safe home, she will not proceed with an adoption. This is true whether she works with adoption professionals like Kirsh & Kirsh, a national adoption agency, or a local adoption agency. Even before Indiana Adoption Law made a pre-placement Homestudy and evaluation of prospective adoptive parents a prerequisite to adopting, Kirsh & Kirsh required prospective adoptive parents to undergo evaluation, assessment, and investigation before Kirsh & Kirsh would help them adopt a child. One of the attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh, usually Steve Kirsh, who has 40 years of experience handling adoptions in Indiana, meets with new, prospective adoptive parents, and among other things decides if Kirsh & Kirsh will assist them in adopting a child. If the family chooses to hire Kirsh & Kirsh to help them adopt, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, have them contact an independent, adoption agency to do a personal and home evaluation of them as adoptive parents. Additionally, the agency performs child abuse,  criminal, FBI fingerprint, and sexual offender checks of the family. If the agency does not approve the family for adoptive placement, Kirsh & Kirsh will not represent them in adoption proceedings. Lastly, Kirsh & Kirsh offers all birth mothers and expectant mothers the opportunity to meet, in person, the prospective adoptive parents and decide for themselves whether they trust the family with their soon-to-be-born or newborn baby.

Our contact information is below.  We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., 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 Frankfort or Indianapolis, Bloomington or Whitestown, Evansville or Vincennes, or Auburn or Ft. Wayne, or any Indiana county or city in between.

DOES KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) HANDLE OPEN ADOPTIONS?

YES! We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, help create adoption plans which accommodate the wishes of both the birth parents and prospective adoptive parents. We find that many birth mothers would like to receive written and photographic updates from the adoptive parents letting them know how their children are getting along and simply to satisfy their curiosity about what the children look like In fact, even for those birth parents who do not request updates, Kirsh & Kirsh encourages the adoptive parent to create the updates and put them in safe-keeping in case the birth mother or father later change their minds about receiving the updates. Every birth parent finds peace in their own way. In our experience, seeing photos and receiving written updates about their children reaffirms for the birth parent that they made the right decision in placing the baby up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for the baby. Of course, some birth mothers struggle more than others with their decision. Therefore, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, encourage all expectant mothers and birth mothers to speak with a counselor to help them focus on their reasons and have the tools to deal with their emotions. We will arrange and pay for counseling both before and after the baby is born.

The “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., 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. They cannot make adoption an easy choice, but they can make it less scary by removing some of the unknowns.

CAN I RECEIVE HELP WITH MY EXPENSES IF I GIVE UP A BABY FOR ADOPTION?

Many states, including Indiana, allow adoptive parents to assist with expectant and birth mother living expenses to make her life easier but not act as an inducement for a birth parent to put up a baby for adoption or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for a baby. Living expenses include such things as housing, utilities, phone service, maternity clothing, travel, and other miscellaneous expenses related to the second and third trimester of the pregnancy and for up to 6 weeks following the birth of the baby, IN ADDITION TO medical, counseling, and legal fees.

We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), have expectant and birth mothers complete a simple, one-page worksheet to verify their monthly expenses and then send the moms a check each month based upon their needs and the statutorily allowable expenses.

We DO NOT require expectant and birth mothers to sign a promissory note or contract, requiring the moms to repay living expenses in the event they decide not to proceed with an adoption. Furthermore, so long as a woman intends, in good faith, to proceed with an adoption, Indiana Law does not impose criminal penalties for accepting living expenses and not placing the baby for adoption.

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.
