Adoption Adoption Process Birthmother

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.

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 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.

WILL I EVER SEE THE CHILD AGAIN, IF I GIVE MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

Yes, probably, but no one can give a guaranteed “Yes” to that question. However, at Adoption Attorneys, Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), over the last nearly 40 years of handing adoptions in Indiana and beyond, almost never does an adult adoptee tell us that he or she would not welcome meeting their birth parents. On the other hand, with all due respect, the answer to that question should not dictate whether a birth mother or birth father will put up their child for adoption or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for the child. The birth parents’ life situations either make adoption a high probability way of assuring that their child will have a world of opportunities and a bright future, or they do not.

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.

I AM REALLY UNCERTAIN ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION. WHAT CAN I DO?

As the expression goes, “Information is Power.” GET MORE INFORMATION about adoption from a compassionate, kind, experienced, adoption professional. In our 90 years of combined, legal, experience arranging adoptions, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) have identified the two most common reasons that make expectant mothers uncertain about giving a baby up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for their children: Firstly, the obvious reason – adoption is an IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT DECISION and, secondly, they don’t have enough information, or worse, have the wrong information. Getting correct information WITHOUT FEELING PRESSURED, will NOT make adoption an easy decision, but it will enable you to decide based on fact, not fiction. Here is an example. Let’s say you needed to get a COVID vaccination, but a well-meaning, BUT UNINFORMED, close friend told you that after the nurse gave you the shot, she would cut off your arm. As much as you might have thought getting the vaccine was a good idea, you would probably not get the shot, if it meant having your arm amputated. There may be valid reasons not to get a COVID vaccination, but fear that you will have your arm cut off is not one of them. Likewise, many birth mothers have very good reasons, not to give up a baby for adoption, but not everything well-meaning friends have told you might be true. Even if you are really uncertain about adoption, contact an adoption professional to get correct information about the process. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, will provide that information.

DO I NEED MY HUSBAND’S CONSENT TO THE ADOPTION, IF I AM PREGNANT AND THINKING ABOUT GIVING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

In most states, including Indiana, a husband and wife have the same parental rights to a child born during the marriage or within some time, usually a year of less, of a divorce. However, under Indiana adoption law, the consent to the adoption of husband who is not required if the husband is not the biological father of the child. Therefore, if the prospective adoptive parents can prove that the husband is not the biological father of the child, an adoption could take place without the husband’s consent. This usually requires more than the mother’s statement that her husband or ex-husband is not the father. Evidence that courts have found persuasive include a DNA test showing the husband is not the father, a DNA test showing that another man is the father, an affidavit from prison that the husband was incarcerated, without conjugal visits during the time the mother of the child got pregnant, and a sworn statement from the husband denying paternity of the child. Obviously, if the mother does not want her husband to know of the pregnancy or adoption, only those types of proof that do not involve the husband’s cooperation would work.

I GAVE BIRTH AND PLAN TO PUT THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION. WHY CAN’T I JUST LEAVE THE BABY AT THE HOSPITAL AND WALK OUT AMA?

By walking out of a hospital AMA — against medical advice, you risk medical complications, which could threaten your future well-being and even your life. Also, leaving the baby at the hospital, before signing a consent to adoption, will cause the hospital to contact DCS. When DCS gets involved, it will make the baby a Child in Need of Services (CHINS) and place the baby in a foster home. Additionally, DCS will investigate the birth mother or birth parents, including going to her/their home, and requiring her/them to attend court hearings, submit to random drug tests, and participate in parenting classes, OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS OR YEARS. For most birth mothers who want to get out of the hospital at the earliest possible moment, leaving AMA and abandoning the baby will likely have the unintended consequence of jeopardizing the birth mother’s health and having to deal with DCS for a long time. Waiting for an extra, few hours to get the consent to adoption signed properly will likely save lots of aggravation and stress, in addition to being safer.

If you are thinking about giving your baby up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for your newborn, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., will try to accommodate your wishes regarding all aspects of the adoption including the timing of the consent signing.  We will meet you at the hospital, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including all holidays, if you want to leave the hospital as soon as possible after birth.

We 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 Huntington or Huntingburg, Greencastle or Greenfield, or Merrillville or Michigan City, or any Indiana county or city in between.

We have lots of wonderful, carefully screened, loving families (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 full extent allowed by law.

You can call, text, and or email us anytime —call: 317-575-5555, text: 317-721-2030, email: AdoptionSupport@kirsh.com, or a Facebook message:  https://www.facebook.com/KirshandKirsh/. We answer our office phone, by a member of our office staff – not an answering service — 24 hours a day, every single day. We try to respond to emails and text messages within minutes of receipt.

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 on Google.
