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.

WILL I GET TO SEE MY BABY AS IT GROWS IF I PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

If you want to visit your child after you put my baby up for adoption or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for your baby, ask yourself this question: Do I want to see the child because I want to be a part of the child’s life or do I just want to see for myself that my child is okay?

If to remain a part of the child’s life, you should reconsider whether adoption is in the best interests of your child and your own best interests. If you proceed with an adoption, it is highly unlikely that you will have a meaningful enough relationship with the child to satisfy your need to remain a part of the child’s life, and you should be cautious of a national adoption agency, local adoption agency, or adoption facilitator who makes that promise to you. As a legal matter, adoption terminates the parental rights of the birth parents. 

However, if your desire to visit the child is to see for yourself that the child is doing well, you might want to consider whether photos, letters, and even videos might satisfy your needs. We at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, PC (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) have insisted that adoptive parents provide updates to their birth parents, and, with few exceptions, this arrangement has worked out well for all concerned. We advise adoptive parents to honestly assess what they will feel comfortable doing as to updates – that way, birth parents are never disappointed if the adoptive parents under-promise and over-deliver when agreeing to provide letters and photographs to birth parents.

HOW DO I FIND A FAMILY IF I DECIDE TO PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

In reality, finding a family is quite easy. Once you tell a few of your acquaintances or friends that you are considering giving your baby up for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for your baby, you will receive more inquiries than you would like from prospective adoptive parents. They will come out of the woodwork asking you if you will give them your baby. Aside from the obvious hassle of having to deal with lots of such families, that approach does not assure you of the BEST family for your baby or even a family who has the basic qualifications to adopt, such as a normal life expectancy, financial security, lack of criminal convictions, no drug problems, and the like. 

If you would like to make the process easier and assure yourself of finding not just any family to adopt but a really good family, consider contacting reputable, experienced adoption professionals such as Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), a national adoption agency, or a local adoption agency. 

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.

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 PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, WHY DO I HAVE TO FILL OUT A BACKGROUND FORM?

Completing a background form serves three purposes. It helps the adoption attorney, national adoption agency, or local adoption agency find the best possible family for your baby if you decide to give up your baby for adoption or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for the baby. As an example, if a particular illness runs in your family, the adoption agency or adoption attorney would try to find a family who has the resources to provide for the child if the child develops that condition. Also, if you work with an experienced adoption law firm like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), you will see that their background form not only includes extensive medical history questions but also personal information about the birth parents. We at Kirsh & Kirsh believe that your child will be curious about the personal information about you well before the child cares about your medical history. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, every birth parent, on some level, wonders what the child will think of them for having placed the child for adoption. A parent who fully and carefully completes a detailed background form will show the child by taking the time to complete the form, the birth parent loved the child and only wanted what was best for the child.

THE BABY DADDY BLOCKED ME. CAN I GIVE MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

If you contact Indiana-based Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) to find an adoptive home for your baby, even if you live in Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, or any other state, we can rely on Indiana’s very favorable adoption laws. Among other things, Indiana law does NOT require a birth mother to identify the father of the child. However, if she identifies the baby daddy and provides an address at which he can be found, we can notify him of the adoption and potentially stop his challenge of the adoption before she gives birth. If the birth mother got pregnant in a state with a putative father registry, we at Kirsh & Kirsh can rely on that state’s putative father registry in an Indiana adoption proceeding. In short, if the father does want contact from you, you can still give up your baby for adoption or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for your baby, if you work with knowledgeable, experienced adoption professionals like Kirsh & Kirsh. 

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 over 90 years of combined legal experience and pride themselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

IF I DON’T LIVE IN INDIANA AND WORK WITH ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”), WHERE WILL THE ADOPTIVE PARENTS LIVE?

In most cases, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, file all adoptions in Indiana because Indiana has very favorable adoption laws. To file an adoption in Indiana, we need an Indiana connection to the adoption – the adoptive parents or birth mother need to live in Indiana.  Among other benefits to birth mothers, Indiana adoption law allows a birth mother to sign her consent to adoption any time after the birth of the child, does NOT require the birth parents to physically go to court to give their consents to the adoption, and a birth mother does NOT have to identify the father of the child. Therefore, if an expectant mother from outside of Indiana, who wants to look into putting her baby up for adoption, or, more correctly making an adoption plan for her unborn baby, contacts us, we will try to match her with one of our waiting, prospective adoptive parent families from Indiana.

I AM SCARED TO LOOK INTO ADOPTION. I DON’T WANT MY CHILD TO HATE ME IF I PUT THE CHILD UP FOR ADOPTION. 

It is safe to say that no parent wants their child to hate them. Unfortunately, as any parent of a teenager will tell you, some children (particularly during their teenaged years) hate their parents for all kinds of reasons, real and imagined. No matter what decision a parent makes when it comes to parenting their child, there is no guarantee that the child will not disagree with the parent’s action. Parents should not make decisions for their children based upon a hope that their children will like or approve of the decisions. Parents need to make decisions based upon what the parent believes serves the child’s best interests. If a woman with an untimely pregnancy or unplanned pregnancy believes that giving her baby up for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for the child gives the child the best opportunity to live a productive life and reach his or her full potential, then the birth parent needs to take that action regardless of the child’s feelings about the decision. By the way, many adopted children love their birth parents for having put the child’s need above the birth parents’ own breaking hearts. 

As adoption attorneys, Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), have seen over nearly the last 40 years the love for their children birth mother have demonstrated in assuring their children a bright future by selecting adoptive parents who cannot wait to welcome a child into their homes and hearts and will devote every moment of their lives to the success and happiness of their child. There is nothing more “motherly” than placing a child’s needs above those of the parent. 

Giving up a child for adoption is scary. There is nothing easy about it, but working with a local adoption agency, national adoption agency, or a reputable, compassionate, experienced adoption law firm, like Kirsh & Kirsh, with over 90 years of combined legal experience working with birth mothers and expectant mothers, can make it easier. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, will not pressure you, make you feel badly about whatever choice you make, or try to involve ourselves in your personal affairs.

I DID NOT PLAN TO GET PREGNANT. CAN I GET AN ABORTION IN INDIANA?

The short answer is that the Indiana Supreme Court has put on hold the new law in Indiana, which was to have gone into effect on September 15, 2022. In other words, Indiana allows abortion to the same extent as prior to the enactment of the new abortion law. After it hears oral arguments in the case on January 19, 2023, the Indiana Supreme Court will decide whether to allow the new law to go into effect. If the Indiana Supreme Court strikes down Indiana’s new, abortion law, it will likely give reasons, which will provide direction for the Indiana General Assembly to modify the new law to satisfy the concerns of the court. 

Among other changes, the new law limits the circumstances and time frame for a woman to have an abortion and the type of facility which can administer an abortion. Specifically, under the new law abortion clinics may no longer perform abortions. 

Regardless of what happens to Indiana’s abortion law, if you face an unplanned pregnancy or an untimely pregnancy, you should explore giving your baby up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for your unborn child.

WILL I GET INTO TROUBLE IF I TAKE LIVING EXPENSE MONEY FROM THE ADOPTIVE PARENTS AND DON’T PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION?

Each state has its own criminal statutes and definitions of what constitutes fraud. At the very least, it not right to take money from prospective adoptive parents without intending to give up the baby for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan for the baby. Some states like Indiana, make it a FELONY for a woman pretending to be a birth mother or a birth mother to accept living expenses if she does not intend to make an adoptive placement or is not pregnant. See Indiana Code § 35-46-1-9.5. Besides possible jail time under the criminal statute, the defrauded adoptive parents can sue her for THREE TIMES the amount of money she took PLUS attorney fees under Indiana Code § 34-24-3-1.5.

On the other hand, if a woman sincerely intends to give up her baby for adoption and has an honest change of heart, she will not be in trouble. 

We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), represent lots of carefully screened and fully investigated prospective adoptive parents who will gladly assist an expectant mother intending to proceed with an adoption, the full amount of living expenses allowable by law. Giving a family a baby who cannot give birth to one is as God-like as anything one person can do for another. 

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. 

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. We can help you in finding an AMAZING, WONDERFUL, adoptive home for your precious baby, whether you live in Noblesville or Indianapolis, Shelbyville or Bloomington, Evansville or Newburgh, South Bend or Michigan City, Auburn or Ft. Wayne, or any Indiana county or city in between, or ANYWHERE in Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, or Michigan.

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.
