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.

IN INDIANA, CAN I STILL GET AN ABORTION?

Indiana’s law about abortion, Indiana Code § 16-34, provides a near total ban on abortions except in very limited circumstances and time frames. While some states may allow a woman to have an abortion up to a certain number of weeks into the pregnancy for any reason or just because she wants to abort the fetus, Indiana does not. Therefore, if you do not fit into one of the exceptions found in Indiana Code § 16-34, you will need to look into other options for your baby. For some women who find themselves with an untimely pregnancy, unexpected pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, or unwanted pregnancy is adoption is an alternative to parenting the child.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I AM PREGNANT AND NOT READY FOR A BABY

Finding out that you have an unintended pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, untimely pregnancy, or unwanted pregnancy probably caused you to believe it could not be true when you first found out. However, many people let their minds jump to the worst possible outcome whenever they learn of bad news. But, rarely does the “worst” happen, and often, the best solution is not the one that most immediately makes our worries go away. 

What you ultimately decide is entirely up to you, and you will be the one most impacted by your decision, except that, as a pregnant woman, your decision is complicated by the baby you have conceived. The two conclusions that immediately come to mind for most women in your predicament are parenting the child or aborting it. Obviously, both have long-term consequences for the unborn baby and you. Therefore, you should not only consider what to do now but how the consequences of your present decision will affect the rest of your life. 

An alternative to a situation like yours that does often come to mind is adoption. Before dismissing adoption, you might want to think of the potential benefits to your unborn baby and you, including:

  1. Knowing that you have done something “God-like” for the adoptive parents – given them a child. 
  2. Knowing that you have given your baby a chance for a bright future, in which he or she has the chance to pursue their full potential – maybe your child will be the person who finds the cure for cancer – who knows, but maybe.
  3. Knowing that you have put the needs of others ahead of your own needs and feelings. 

However, putting or giving a child up for adoption — or, more correctly, making an adoption plan — is not all rainbows and lollipops. It will be the hardest decision you ever make – a decision few people have the fortitude and strength to make. 

If you would like more information about adoption and available living expenses during and after your pregnancy, you should contact us. We at Adoption Attorneys 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.

I AM PREGNANT AND THINKING ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION BUT I AM AFRAID THAT DCS WILL GET INVOLVED AND TAKE THE BABY FROM THE HOSPITAL. WHAT CAN I DO?

The department of child services (or whatever it is called in your state) will not get involved simply because you give up your baby for adoption. Making an adoption plan for your child does not endanger your child causing child protective services to intervene. However, if you have already had problems with DCS and do not want DCS to take custody of your child and put your child in the “System,” your best option is to make arrangements for an adoptive placement before you give birth with adoption professionals like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), whose 4 attorneys have over 100 years of combined legal experience helping birth mothers find loving, wonderful, carefully-screened homes for the precious soon-to-be-born babies and newborns. Another alternative is to contact a counselor at a local adoption agency or national adoption and ask the agency to provide counseling to you about your options — including foster care.

If you have an unplanned pregnancy or an untimely pregnancy and are thinking about putting your baby up for adoption and would like more information about living expenses or to explore adoption, we, at Adoption Attorneys 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.

IS A BIRTH MOTHER REQUIRED TO HAVE HER OWN ATTORNEY, AND DOES SHE HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN COUNSELING? WHY DOES KIRSH & KIRSH GIVE A BIRTH MOTHER THE OPTION OF HAVING HER OWN ATTORNEY AND RECEIVE COUNSELING? 

We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) want the birth mothers and expectant mothers whom we assist with adoptions to fully understand their rights and make the best possible decision for themselves and their children. As experienced adoption professionals, Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh know that a pregnant woman thinking about putting her baby up for adoption will often make a better decision for herself and her unborn child if she makes a decision based on good reasons rather than emotions. Counseling helps a mother to focus on her reasons and gives her the tools to keep her emotions from clouding her reasons. This is true whether she decides to give up her child up for adoption or parent her child.

As the attorneys for the adoptive parents, Kirsh & Kirsh cannot give legal advice to the birth parents. Kirsh & Kirsh can and does explain adoption procedure and what to expect in the process but ethically cannot give legal advice. Therefore, Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh always offer separate legal representation to birth mothers and expectant mothers, at the expense of the prospective adoptive parents. To it in another way, like counseling for birth mothers, legal representation is not required, but Kirsh & Kirsh makes it available, at no cost to them. 

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

CAN THE BIRTH FATHER’S PARENTS OR BIRTH MOTHER’S STOP THE ADOPTION, OR DO THEY HAVE GRANDPARENT VISITATION RIGHTS?

Each state has different laws. Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) try to file most of the adoptions they arrange in Indiana, so long as either the birth parents, adoptive parents, or child live in Indiana. Under Indiana law, neither the birth father’s nor birth mother’s parents – the child’s grandparents – have legal standing or grounds to object to an adoption. Additionally, in Indiana, grandparents have limited visitation rights which usually only come into play if the child’s parent is deceased. Also, those rights end with the adoption of the child by anyone other than a stepparent or a close family member, biologically related to the child, such as a grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew. 

Whether you live in Indiana or any other state, if you have an untimely pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, got pregnant by accident, or are just not ready for the lifetime commitment of parenthood and are thinking about putting your baby up for adoption — or, more correctly, making an adoption plan — and would like to explore adoption, contact us at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C.

I AM PREGNANT WITH TWINS AND THINKING ABOUT PUTTING THEM UP FOR ADOPTION BUT DON’T WANT THEM ADOPTED BY DIFFERENT FAMILIES

At Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), we would never separate, nor have ever separated, twins by having them adopted into different adoptive parents. In fact, no reputable national adoption agency or local adoption agency would do so either. Also, if you worry about adopting twins costing too much for most prospective adoptive parents, adopting twins typically only adds a small amount of court costs and nursery charges for the second baby, often covered by Medicaid (or the state’s equivalent to Medicaid) or insurance.

WHAT MONEY CAN I RECEIVE IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION?

At Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), we file most of the adoptions we arrange in Indiana, even if the birth mother lives in states like Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Michigan, or any state other than Indiana. Under Indiana law, a birth mother may receive living expenses – but not a financial incentive — if she puts her baby up for adoption, or more correctly, makes an adoption plan for her baby.  In short, not in any state can adoptive parents induce a mother to proceed with an adoption by paying her money for the baby. That would constitute the crime of “baby-selling.” Even if payment of money for a child was not illegal, few women could come to peace with themselves if they “sold” their babies. 

However, law makers in many states recognize that if a pregnant woman carries a baby to the end of her pregnancy, she will likely need financial assistance to support herself during that time. Indiana Law legally allows a woman to receive up to $4,000 in living expenses, throughout pregnancy and after delivery. At Kirsh & Kirsh, we find that most women need the full amount and have them sign an affidavit of financial disclosure which we file with the court, disclosing the amount of living expenses she received or expects to receive. 

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.

DO I HAVE TO PICK THE ADOPTIVE PARENTS, IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION?

Not, if you don’t want to. We, at Adoption Attorneys, Kirsh & Kirsh, PC (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), always try to make adoption planning as easy as possible for birth mothers and expectant mothers facing untimely pregnancies or unplanned pregnancies. Some women want lots of involvement in the choosing the adoptive parents for their babies and others want us to pick the family who will adopt their newborns.

We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, respect the choices of the birth parents with whom we work and do whatever we can to make an IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT decision EASIER, understanding that NOTHING we do will make the decision EASY.

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.

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.

Adoption Process Birthmother

CAN I GET THE BABY BACK IN A FEW YEARS IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION?

Occasionally, expectant mothers or birth mothers will ask us at Kirsh & Kirsh, PC (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) this question. The answer is “No.” Adoption creates a legal parent-child relationship between the adoptive parents and the child just as if they had given birth to the child and permanently terminates the parent-child relationship between the birth parents and the child. If a birth mother is not ready to parent her newborn and does not want her parental rights terminated, she should look into having a friend, or family member appointed guardian of the child or foster care through a local adoption agency. 

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. 

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. 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.
