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. 

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. 

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. As attorneys, we at Kirsh & Kirsh have very high standards for the prospective adoptive parents we choose to represent. In most situations, we can provide you with as many profiles of prospective adoptive parents as you would like to receive. All of our waiting families are carefully screened and thoroughly investigated. We will arrange for you to have contact with the family you choose on your terms, without families trying to reach you at all hours of the day or night. 

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 Terre Haute or Indianapolis, Columbus or Martinsville, Vincennes or Evansville, Goshen or South Bend, Huntington 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.

I PLAN TO PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION BUT DO NOT WANT THE BABY TO GO INTO THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM

There are two ways can assure yourself that your baby will not go into foster care. Make sure the Department of Child Services in Indiana or a similar agency in your home state does not intervene in the adoption. Even if you have had other run-ins with DCS or used drugs during your pregnancy, if you make arrangements to give up your baby for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan for your baby either within the first few hours after giving birth or before you deliver, you can probably avoid DCS involvement, which always involves foster care. The way to eliminate the possibility of your baby going to a foster home is to work with adoption professionals like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”). The adoptions which Kirsh & Kirsh arranges NEVER involve a baby going into the foster care system. On the other hand, if you want to utilize foster care, you should contact a national adoption agency or a local adoption agency. While adoption agencies rarely use foster care, they license foster 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.

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.

WHAT IS INDIANA’S NEW ABORTION LAW, AND WHEN DOES IT GO INTO EFFECT?

Effective September 15, 2022, Indiana Code 16-34-2-1, will ban abortion in Indiana, except during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy to prevent “any serious health risk to the pregnant woman or save the pregnant woman’s life” or if “the fetus is diagnosed with a lethal fetal anomaly.” Also, a woman who got pregnant as a result of rape or incest may have an abortion during first 10 weeks of the pregnancy. Additionally, Indiana’s new abortion law limits the use of the abortion inducing drug, Mifepristone, to the first 8 weeks of the pregnancy. Some have described Indiana’s abortion law as the most restrictive abortion law in the country and the first since the Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe vs. Wade.

Putting a baby up for adoption, or more appropriately making an adoption plan, gives a woman facing an untimely pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, or unwanted pregnancy an alternative to parenting the child.

DO I HAVE TO INVOLVE THE FATHER OF THE BABY IF I AM THINKING ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

The answer depends on the state in which you live and whether you and the father of the baby are married or have been married to each other in roughly the year preceding the birth of the baby.  Because we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), have our main office in Indiana, we can file most of the adoptions we facilitate in Indiana, even if the birth mother or expectant mother lives in Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, or any other state. Indiana has among the best adoption laws in the country. Under Indiana law, an expectant or birth mother does NOT have to identify the father of the child. Indiana law enables a birth father to take the initiative to protect his parental rights if he so desires, by means of the Indiana Putative Father Registry. In 2020, the Indiana General Assembly enacted a bill that extended the concept of the Indiana Putative Father Registry to any state that has its own Putative Father Registry. If a woman conceives a child in any of the twenty-seven states with Putative Father Registries, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, can file the adoption in Indiana and rely on the Putative Father Registry in the state of in which the woman got pregnant to address the birth father’s parental rights, without the birth mother having to identify him. However, under Indiana law, the Putative Father Registry does not apply to those men who have established paternity by in a court action or by executing a paternity affidavit or to husbands of birth mothers.

IF THE FAMILY I PICK LIVES IN A DIFFERENT STATE THAN ME, HOW DOES THE ADOPTION WORK?

If you work with us at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) and either the prospective adoptive parents or you live in Indiana, the adoption will take place under Indiana adoption laws, which many states have copied because they are so good. If the adoptive parents or you happen to live in Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, or Michigan, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, have at least one attorney licensed in those states enabling us to handle all aspects of the adoption. If neither the adoptive parents nor the birth mother lives in Indiana, we can either work with an adoption attorney or adoption agency in the appropriate states or refer you to someone who can help you. Our services are ALWAYS free to birth mothers and expectant mothers. We know local adoption agencies, national adoption agencies, and experienced adoption attorneys in almost every state. Contacting Kirsh & Kirsh FIRST will assure you of finding a reputable, compassionate adoption professional to answer your questions and assist you if you would like to explore adoption and save you a lot of time.

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.

IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, CAN I CHOOSE THE ADOPTIVE PARENTS?

Most national adoption agencies and local adoption agencies give birth mothers and expectant mothers profiles of families from which they can choose. We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) have always given birth parents control over selecting adoptive parents, among our fully investigated and carefully screened pool of hopeful, prospective adoptive parents. We have found that there is always a family waiting to love your child. Because of the size and scope of the Kirsh & Kirsh Adoption Program, we can offer birth parents a wide variety of waiting families from which to choose. On the other hand, if a birth parent would rather not make the choice, we will make the match. Some birth mothers have very specific criteria for the family they would want to adopt their children but do not want to make the decision. At Kirsh & Kirsh, we give the birth mother and father, if the mother chooses to involve him, control over all aspects of the adoption to the extent the law allows it. We handle all adoptions in accordance with all applicable laws, which we have found gives birth parents additional peace of mind that their child will go to a loving, secure, safe, and happy home.

HOW DOES THE “GIFT OF ADOPTION” APPLY TO ME IF I AM A BIRTH PARENT THINKING ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

Some birth parents think of giving prospective adoptive parents the gift of a child as the meaning of the “Gift of Adoption.” Of course, giving an adoptive family a baby is absolutely an AMAZING gift, as close to GOD-LIKE as any gift imaginable. In fact, one would be hard-pressed to think of a more unselfish, generous gift one person can give to another, but it only describes part of the magnitude of the gift. Another perspective is that the child receives the gift of a loving, secure, stable home with the chance to experience all that life offers, including good education and the opportunity to develop and explore his or her natural talents and interests. Furthermore, do not diminish the gift a birth parent gives herself or himself, knowing that their child is being cared for and loved by people who cannot wait to share their blessings with a child. It is okay for a birth parent, not ready or able to parent a child, to feel a sense of relief that they have secured a wonderful, loving home in which many, if not most, of their child’s wants and needs, will be satisfied.

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 their child’s best interests. 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 Connersville or Indianapolis, New Albany or Bedford, Evansville or Sullivan, South Bend or Goshen, Rolling Prairie or Ft. Wayne, or any Indiana county or city in between, or ANYWHERE in Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, or Michigan. 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. You choose which family adopts your baby and the extent of contacts you want after the baby is born.

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.
