WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF NATIONAL ADOPTION AGENCY VERSES A LOCAL ADOPTION AGENCY?

Some would say that is like asking which is better—vanilla or chocolate ice cream. The question suggests that there are only two choices – vanilla or chocolate – local vs. national adoption agencies. As with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, there are other choices. When it comes to adoption, the other choice of an adoption facilitator is an adoption law firm, like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”). Some birth mothers and expectant mothers like the “touchy, feely” experience of working with a social worker or counselor at an adoption agency. Other birth parents prefer a “let’s just do this” approach.

While we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, listen to expectant mothers and strongly believe in counseling, we tend to be more direct in our approach to arranging adoptions. Our way of doing things is not for everybody but based upon over 500 Five Star Google Reviews and our Better Business Bureau A+ Rating, many people, including birth parents, like how we do things.

We, at 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. 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.

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 Lebanon or Indianapolis, Seymour or Columbus, Evansville or Madison, or South Bend or Warsaw, Angola or Ft. Wayne, or any Indiana county or city in between, or ANYWHERE in Tennessee, Mississippi, or Kentucky.

We have lots of 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.

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 in Google.

MY FRIEND IS PREGNANT. HOW DO I GET HER TO THINK ABOUT GIVING THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

Most importantly, remember that she is the mother of the child and has the right to make parenting decisions. It is okay to offer guidance and advice, but you should not impose your judgment on her.

A good, non-judgmental way to begin a conversation about adoption with a pregnant friend is to ask her: “How do you feel about being pregnant?” If she expresses anything but excitement, she has then opened the door for you to suggest other options such as putting the child up for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for the child.

If she is excited about welcoming a child or another child, you might ask questions that cause her to judge for herself her readiness for a newborn. Ultimately, she will need to decide for herself that parenting the child may not serve the child’s best interests. Most people more willingly accept decisions they make on their own as opposed to those forced upon them by others. You could ask, questions like:

  1. At the end of the day, how much energy does she have now without the responsibility of a newborn?
  2. Does she feel that she spends enough one-on-one time with her child or children if she has another child or children?
  3. Who babysits her child or children and will look after the new baby when she goes out or to work and is that person willing to take responsibility for another child, particularly, a newborn?
  4. How likely is it that the father of the baby will help her raise the child?
  5. How much money does she have at the end of the month that she could use to provide for the new baby?
  6. What part of the cost of raising the child does she expect to receive from others and how certain is she of their continued and ongoing commitment?
