Adoption Adoption Process Birthmother

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN OPEN ADOPTION AND CLOSED ADOPTION?

Closed adoption, sometimes referred to as a confidential adoption, and open adoption describe the extent to which adoptive parents and birth parents (typically birth mothers) share information both before and after the birth of the child. But, these words do not have universal meanings. Open adoption means different things to different people. For example, some would say that if an adoption does not involve post-placement visitation between the birth mother and child, the adoption is closed. Others believe that the exchange of ANY information before placement or providing written and/or photographic updates after placement makes an adoption open. Accordingly, a pregnant woman or woman who has already given birth and considering putting up their baby for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for their baby, should ask the adoption agency or adoption attorney whom they have chosen what those words mean in that adoption program. 

In nearly all of the adoptions Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, PC (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) arranges, the adoptive parents and expectant mother share lots of information about each other before the birth parents sign consent to the adoption. Additionally, the adoptive parents send letters and photographs to the birth mother and birth father, if he is involved, after placement. In some adoptions, the birth mother and adoptive parents desire a more open adoption involving post-placement visits between the birth parents and the child. Of course, the degree of openness depends upon the wishes and comfort level of BOTH the birth parents and the adoptive parents. In our years of experience, we have found that some birth mothers want a very closed or confidential adoption, and others prefer a more open arrangement. For that reason, we at Kirsh & Kirsh tailor each adoption to the wants and needs of the birth parents and adoptive parents. We do NOT advocate a ONE SIZE FITS ALL approach when we handle adoptions, nor do we have to consult with a board of directors, as an adoption agency might, if the parties want to try something unique. 

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. Adoption, like abortion, is an individual choice, and women come to terms with their decisions in different ways. 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.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T LIVE IN INDIANA AND I ASK ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, PC (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) TO HELP ME FIND A HOME FOR MY BABY?

Although the main office of Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh is in Indiana, we actively work with birth mothers and expectant mothers, thinking about putting their babies up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan, in Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Michigan. Rob Kirsh, one of the Kirsh attorneys, is also licensed to practice law in those states. Therefore, birth parents often ask this question. If the prospective adoptive parents live in Indiana, we will follow Indiana law, which does NOT require the birth mother to jump through lots of hoops like meeting in person with counselors, waiting days after giving birth to sign a consent to adoption, having to go to court and stand in front of a judge, being forced to identify the father of the child, among other burdens which some states place on birth mothers.

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.

IF I CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION AND DCS GETS INVOLVED AFTER I GIVE BIRTH, AND THEN I DECIDE TO GIVE THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION, CAN I STILL DO IT?

Unfortunately, probably not. Once the Indiana Department of Child Services, Kentucky Division of Child Care, Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services, Tennessee Department of Children Services, Michigan Children’s Protective Services, or Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (to make it simple we will refer to that department in any state as “DCS”) gets involved, DCS will likely make all decisions regarding your baby. Not typically do those decisions include allowing you, as the birth mother, to have a say in who adopts your baby or even whether you can place your baby for adoption. Your best bet if you think that DCS will get involved because have other open DCS cases or you have used drugs during your pregnancy, you should give a lot of thought to what you believe is best for you and your baby. If you want DCS to put your baby in a foster home and provide services to you to enable DCS to reunite you with the child, then you should not proceed with an adoption. On the other hand, if want your baby to go to forever home, with your input, you should contact an adoption agency or adoption professionals like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) before DCS assumes control over your baby at the hospital. If you and the baby are still in the hospital and DCS has already intervened, contact us at Kirsh & Kirsh. We may be able to help but don’t get your hopes up.

IF I PLAN TO PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, DO I HAVE TO MEET WITH SOMEONE, OR CAN I DO EVERYTHING ELECTRONICALLY IF I WORK WITH ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”)?

Answer: Whatever works for you! We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, tailor each adoption to the needs of the birth mother and adoptive parents rather than handling all adoptions the same. As long as the arrangements meet all ethical and legal standards, we will facilitate each adoption in a way that puts the parties most at ease. We know planning an adoption causes stress. Nothing we do will make adoption EASY, but we can make the process EASIER by being flexible. Accordingly, if you want to “meet” with us by Zoom, FaceTime, telephone, email, text, or any other manner that allows us to share information with you and you with us, we will make the arrangements in that way. Very importantly, remember that NOTHING a birth mother does prior to signing a consent to adoption, which she cannot do until after she gives birth, obligates her to proceed with an adoption – no matter how she chooses to communicate with us.

I AM IN A HURRY. WHY SHOULD DO AN ADOPTION RATHER THAN PUT MY BABY IN A BABY BOX AT THE FIRE STATION?

If you think adoption and a baby box are your best alternatives, then you obviously want what is best for your baby. While a baby box assures the safety of your baby, it may not be the best choice for your baby or you. Consider the following:

  1. Starting with what seems most important to you – TIME. If you work with us at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), we can arrange for the adoption of your baby the same day you contact us. Our attorneys have over 90 years of combined legal experience handling adoptions; we have many, carefully screened, fully investigated, loving families, who are ready to take in a child on a moment’s notice; and we will handle everything compassionately, efficiently, and as quickly as you want, without you feeling pressured or hurried. At the very least, call us and see what we can do to help you. Our contact information is below. A member of our full-time, adoption team – NOT AN ANSWERING SERVICE – will answer your call 24/7/365.
  2. Without question, if you put your baby in a baby box, the baby will go directly into the foster care system rather than a forever home.
  3. Putting your baby up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for your baby, enables you the option of selecting the adoptive parents or parent for your baby if you work with an adoption law firm, like Kirsh & Kirsh, a national adoption agency, or a local adoption agency.
  4. While it might not now be important to you to receive updates about your child, you may want that in the future. At Kirsh & Kirsh, we have all of our clients create updates and store them in the Cloud for our birth mothers, because in our years of experience handling adoptions, we know that many times birth mothers change their minds about receiving updates. If you use a baby box, you have no chance of ever getting updates.
  5. For some women, taking a little extra time to do an adoption lets them feel like they actually planned their baby’s future rather than abandoning their baby. Of course, using a baby box assures the safety of their baby, but the extra time to do an adoption may provide a greater sense of peace in your decision.

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.

We can help you in finding an AMAZING, WONDERFUL, adoptive home for your precious baby, whether you live in Westfield or Indianapolis, Mooresville or Bloomington, Evansville or Vincennes, South Bend or Highland, Goshen 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.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS IF I PUT UP MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

Pregnant women looking into adoption for the first time often ask us, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) that question. While we cannot speak for a local adoption agency or national adoption agency, we try to make the process as easy, stress-free, and uncomplicated as possible, with the CLEAR UNDERSTANDING that a birth parent’s decision to put up their baby for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan for the child is the most heart-wrenching, difficult – yet COURAGEOUS, UNSELFISH AND HONORABLE – decision a person will ever face. At Kirsh & Kirsh, we CANNOT make the decision EASY, but we try to make it EASIER by eliminating as many unnecessary, intrusive steps as possible and making ourselves available 24/7/365.

In short, we represent thoroughly investigated, carefully screened, prospective adoptive parents who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their homes and hearts. When an expectant birth mother contacts us, we will gather information from her in order to present her profiles of waiting families we think she might want to consider as adoptive parents for her baby. We give her the opportunity to read about the families, look at pictures showing them and the life they hope to offer her child, talk/text with the family, and even meet them in person if she wishes.

Additionally, we will arrange for her to speak with a counselor to help her anticipate the emotions she can expect and provide her tools to help her come to peace with her decision. If she does not have insurance or Medicaid, we will help her try to obtain coverage. If not, we will see that her pregnancy-related, medical bills, as well as living expenses, get paid. We will let the maternity department know that she is CONSIDERING adoption so that when she arrives at the hospital in labor, she does not have to explain her situation to several different people. “Considering” because a birth mother cannot be held to a final decision about adoption until after she gives birth, AND she formally signs a consent to adoption. Said differently – NOTHING a birth mother says or does before she gives birth and signs a consent to adoption obligates her to proceed with an adoption.

After she gives birth, if she chooses to proceed with the adoption, we will arrange for her to sign a consent to adoption, at a time convenient for her, usually the day following the birth – but NO SOONER than when she is ready. We encourage her to have with her whomever she would like as support. We will then have her confirm her consent for the judge by telephone. The judge just wants to hear her say that she signed the consent voluntarily, freely, and with a clear understanding of what she signed. The court will then issue an order authorizing the hospital to release the baby directly into the adoptive parents’ arms – NOT TO A FOSTER HOME and with NO involvement of the Department of Children Services.

All families whom we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, represent will provide the birth mother photographs and letters for 18 years letting her know how her child is getting along.

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 Greenfield or Indianapolis, Greensburg or Columbus, Evansville or Greencastle, South Bend or Mishawaka, Angola or Ft. Wayne, or any Indiana county or city in between, or ANYWHERE in Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, or Michigan.

THE FUTURE OF ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C., IS IN GOOD HANDS

The other evening my wife, Jacque, and I, Steve Kirsh, saw Sting live at the Palladium in Carmel, Indiana. The warm-up singer looked familiar, but we did not know from where. Like many warm-up acts, he performed okay. To say that Sting outshined the warm-up act would be like comparing 6-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady, to a high school quarterback.  Sting had the sold-out crowd on their feet most of the show. During the first encore, Sting brought on stage the warm-up singer and introduced him as his son. They sang a duet, which both obviously enjoyed.

Unlike Sting’s son, who played “second fiddle” (excuse the pun) to his dad, my son, Grant Kirsh, has become a truly exceptional adoption attorney in his own right by taking everything he learned from me as an adoption attorney and blending it with his own skill, knowledge, personality, and work ethic. As evidence of the esteem in which his clients hold him look at the number of 5-Star Google Reviews which mention him by name. As a dad, I could not be happier that my son has established himself as a better, more successful lawyer than me.

Grant and my brother, Rob Kirsh, who are closer in age than Rob and me, also an excellent adoption attorney, who holds licenses to practice law in Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Michigan, in addition to Indiana, are the future of Kirsh & Kirsh. Going forward, I know that the tradition of adoption law in the Kirsh Family is in good hands.

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.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO A TEMPORARY ADOPTION IF I AM THINKING ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

Recently, a birth mother contacted us at Loving Adoptions by Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) through www.LovingAdoptions.com, and asked us that question. We responded:

“Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we are probably not your best adoption. We do not do temporary adoptions. However, we do open adoptions in which the adoptive parents would provide you letters and photos for 18 years letting you know how the child is getting along. Some of our clients may be open to a limited amount of visitation during the first few years, but in any adoption, we handle, the adoption would terminate your parental rights and make the adoptive parents the legal parents of your child. If you decide to work with us, you could choose the adoptive parents from a carefully screened and fully investigated group of prospective adoptive parents. You could talk with them by telephone and meet them in person if you wish. If you decide that an adoption like the one, I described is best the way to assure that your child receives the life and future you want for your child, please let us know. I wish you well.”

Under the laws of Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, and probably every other state, adoption creates a legal, permanent parent-child relationship between the adoptive parent(s) and the child and terminates the parental rights of the birth parents.

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.
