WILL THE CHILD I GAVE UP FOR ADOPTION HATE ME BECAUSE THE SIBLINGS GET TO STAY WITH ME?

That is a difficult question to answer, but if that is your biggest concern in deciding whether to put up your child for adoption, you probably should not do an adoption. Of course, children can find all kinds of reasons – some real and some imaginary — to hate their parents completely unrelated to an adoptive placement. As parents our job is to do our best to raise our children to enable them to reach their full potential as productive members of society. Therefore, maybe, the question you should ask yourself is “Can I do that for the children I presently have AND the child I am about to have if I do not give up the newborn for adoption?” Adoption professionals – adoption agencies and adoption attorneys — refer to it as making an “adoption plan,” because that is what a birth mother does, when she decides adoption gives her child (and children she will continue to parent) the best opportunities to lead successful lives. 

If you would like more information about adoption and available living expenses during and after your pregnancy, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) — or the “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh are sometimes called – would be happy to help.

REASONS TO CONSIDER PUTTING YOUR BABY UP FOR ADOPTION

If you have an unexpected pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, unwanted pregnancy, or untimely pregnancy and are thinking about giving your baby up for adoption, or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for the baby, and you may want to think about the following:

  1. As much as you may want to “undo” the pregnancy, you cannot. Abortion will end the pregnancy but not change the fact of the pregnancy.  Therefore, you need to think about what impact the decision you make now will affect you going forward.
  2. If you were not trying to get pregnant and were not now pregnant, would this be the time in your life when you would plan to have a child?
  3. What goals do you have for yourself? How will raising a child or another child impact those goals? (If you don’t have goals for yourself – why not?)
  4. What goals do you have for the child you are now carrying? Does your parenting the child or making an adoption plan or another alternative give you the best chance of assuring that your child reaches those goals? 

If you would like more information about adoption and available living expenses during and after your pregnancy, 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.

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF INDIANA’S 2022 ABORTION LAW AFTER THE RULING BY THE INDIANA SUPREME COURT, ON JUNE 30, 2023, IN MEMBERS OF THE MED. LICENSING BD. OF IND. V. PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF GREAT NORTHWEST?

The Indiana Supreme Court made three very important rulings in this case.

  • The Indiana Supreme Court held that the Indiana Constitution does not include a constitutional right of a woman to have an abortion. 
  • The court held that the Indiana General Assembly has the power to limit abortions so long as the law allows a woman to have an abortion to protect her life or health. 
  • The state has a legitimate interest in protecting prenatal life. However, the court did not preclude other challenges to the 2022 abortion law, but held that the statute, as whole, is not unconstitutional. 

Another case that challenges Indiana’s 2022 abortion law is a claim that the 2022 abortion law violates a woman’s freedom of religion. To say it differently, if a woman has a good faith belief that her religion allows abortion, the plaintiffs, in that case, argue that Indiana’s abortion law violates her right to have an abortion. The decision, in that case, will not be known for a while, but given the recognition by the Indiana Supreme Court that the Indiana legislature has the power to protect unborn children, it will be interesting to see how the court will balance a woman’s religious freedom (if it agrees that such freedoms permit abortions) with the state’s interest in protecting an unborn child. 

In spite of one’s feelings about abortion, a woman with an untimely pregnancy or unplanned pregnancy should, at least, look into adoption as an alternative to aborting or parenting the child.

Adoption Birthmother

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GUARDIANSHIP AND ADOPTION?

Adoption establishes a legal parent-child relationship and, in all but second-parent adoptions and stepparent adoptions, terminates the parent-child relationship between the child and birth parents. Said differently, after the court grants an adoption, the parental rights of the biological parents come to an end and the adoptive parents become the child’s legal parents. Guardianship, on the other hand, does not make the guardian the child’s legal parent. The guardian assumes responsibility for the child but not parental rights to the child. When a guardianship ends, the birth parents reassume their roles as parents of the child. This highlights another important difference between guardianship and adoption – adoptions are permanent, and guardianships are usually temporary. If a birth mother does not feel ready for the responsibilities of parenthood due to her current circumstances, which she believes will resolve in relatively short period of time or wants to maintain contact with her child and knows someone who will remain guardian indefinitely, she should choose guardianship over adoption.  However, a birth parent should understand that even if a person says they will serve as guardianship of the child for as long as the birth parent wants, at some point, the guardian may start seeing the child as “their” child, form a deep emotional bond with the child, and be unwilling to voluntarily give the child back. If that should happen, the birth parent would likely have to go to court and prove that the guardianship no longer serves the child’s best interests. That task becomes more difficult the longer the guardian has been guardian. Additionally, the birth parent will have to overcome the fact that they implicitly admitted to their inability to care for the child when they asked for the guardianship in the first place. While guardianship often provides a viable alternative when a birth mother cannot immediately take care of her child, a birth mother should honestly assess her current situation and prospects for the future. If adoption could be in her child’s best interests, she should contact an adoption professional — an experienced, well respected adoption attorney, a national adoption agency, or a local adoption agency – to learn more about adoption.

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.

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 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 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. 

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 Kokomo or Indianapolis, Bloomington or Beford, Evansville or New Albany, South Bend or Elkhart, Angola 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.

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

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.
