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?

I AM PREGNANT AND THINKING ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION BUT I AM AFRAID THAT DCS WILL GET INVOLVED AND TAKE THE BABY FROM THE HOSPITAL. WHAT CAN I DO?

The department of child services (or whatever it is called in your state) will not get involved simply because you give up your baby for adoption. Making an adoption plan for your child does not endanger your child causing child protective services to intervene. However, if you have already had problems with DCS and do not want DCS to take custody of your child and put your child in the “System,” your best option is to make arrangements for an adoptive placement before you give birth with adoption professionals like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), whose 4 attorneys have over 100 years of combined legal experience helping birth mothers find loving, wonderful, carefully-screened homes for the precious soon-to-be-born babies and newborns. Another alternative is to contact a counselor at a local adoption agency or national adoption and ask the agency to provide counseling to you about your options — including foster care.

If you have an unplanned pregnancy or an untimely pregnancy and are thinking about putting your baby up for adoption and would like more information about living expenses or to explore adoption, we, at Adoption Attorneys 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.

I HAVE AN ACCIDENTAL PREGNANCY AND DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

If we could remove our emotions from decision-making and instead base our decisions on objective facts, most of us would make wiser decisions. As time goes on, emotions fade, but facts remain. Thus, if you could take your emotions out of your decision-making, you will likely come to a better conclusion. Of course, the problem is how do you remove emotions from such a personal decision. Try this – Imagine that a close friend of yours came to you with the same issue. What advice would you give your friend? Pregnancies come to an end in one of three ways — the birth of the baby, abortion, or miscarriage. Since miscarriages are not controllable, the options for your friend include giving birth and abortion. Abortion ends the pregnancy but not the fact that your friend was pregnant. While many women have determined that it was their right to make the decision to abort the pregnancy and have learned to live with it, is hard to imagine that any woman who aborted a child was proud of her decision. You need to ask your friend to think about how she will feel about having had an abortion in the years to come, as the abortion will always be a part of her personal story, even if nobody else knows she had an abortion. 

Giving birth does not necessarily mean parenting the child. Parenting is a lifetime, monumental commitment – not an 18-year obligation. Parents never stop parenting their children. If your friend is not ready to assume that commitment, she may want to consider giving the baby up for adoption or more correctly, making an adoption plan for the child.

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. 

If you would like more information about adoption, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C.

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.

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 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.

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.

Adoption Process Birthmother

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. 

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, Columbus or North Vernon, Jeffersonville or Bedford, South Bend or Rensselaer, South Bend or Gary, or any Indiana county or city in between, or ANYWHERE in Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, or Indiana.
