MEETING WITH, OR TALKING TO, AN ADOPTION ATTORNEY OR AGENCY ABOUT GIVING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION SCARES ME.

We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) understand your fear. Like many national adoption agencies and local adoption agencies, we receive lots of completed contact forms from birth mothers and expectant mothers who have visited our website, www.LovingAdoptions.com, but who then do not respond after initially reaching out to us. We can only imagine that they were either very uncertain about adoption when they completed the contact form or the reality of actually talking about adoption overwhelmed them when we responded to their inquiry.

We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, take a no-pressure, non-judgmental approach, when talking with birth parents about how to put up their babies for adoption, or more correctly, make adoption plans for their newborns or soon-to-be-born babies.  The unknown scares all of us. Ironically, if a pregnant woman, thinking about adoption for her baby, would talk or meet with us, we would make the process less scary by explaining what she could expect in an adoption arranged by our office. We cannot make the decision to place a baby or parent the baby easy, but we can remove the unknowns about adoption, without the birth mother feeling pressured or judged for whatever decision she makes.

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 is FREE and does NOT mean you ever have to talk or text with us, again. Our adoption attorneys have 90 YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE practicing adoption law. We can help you find an AMAZING, WONDERFUL, adoptive home for your precious baby, whether you live in Greenwood or Indianapolis, Seymour or Bloomington, Evansville or Vincennes, 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 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 full 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 mom’s search results in Google.

Adoption Process Adoptive Parent

AM I OLD ENOUGH TO ADOPT A NEWBORN?

This morning, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) received inquiries through our website,www.LovingAdoptions.com, from 19- and 18-year-olds, looking into adopting newborns and wanted to know if they were old enough to adopt. Indiana adoption statutes do not state for adoptive parents. However, as adoption attorneys, we can decide whom we wish to represent as prospective adoptive parents, and we do not have to accept as clients everyone who contacts us. We hold to the belief that we would not represent prospective adoptive parents, whom we would not feel comfortable adopting our own children. Additionally, our 4 adoption attorneys know, from our 90 years of combined experience practicing adoption law in Indiana, that women thinking about putting up their babies for adoption, or more correctly making an adoption plan for their children, will not choose a couple or individual to adopt, if the birth mother or expectant mother is not certain of the couple’s or individual’s ability to provide their babies with a stable, loving home, and bright future. Being a great parent takes many attributes, including love, time, commitment, knowledge, skill, patience, understanding, and life experiences. LOVE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH. If it were, a pregnant woman would never give up their babies for adoption. We KNOW that expectant mothers and birth mothers have all the LOVE IN THE WORLD for their babies. In fact, love for their babies is the primary factor for a birth parent to proceed with adoption because they have determined that they lack the other attributes to successfully parent their soon-to-be-born or already-born babies. In fact, most of the birth mothers whom we assist in finding adoptive homes for the babies are older than late teens themselves. National adoption agencies, local adoption agencies, and other adoption attorneys may have other adoption requirements, but at Kirsh & Kirsh, we want our adoptive parent clients to have completed their educations, gotten themselves established in their careers, and if a married couple, have marital stability.

How Much Money Will I Get To Give My Baby Up For Adoption?

If you have an unplanned pregnancy but do not have enough money to pay your everyday expenses from now until the baby is born and through the post-partum recovery period and would never consider abortion, it is important for you to know that under the laws of Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky, adoptive parents can legally help pay your living expenses. Accepting financial assistance in these states is not baby selling. States that permit living expenses, like Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky, have realized that in order to give a woman with an untimely pregnancy a viable alternative to aborting the unborn child, adoptive parents would need to provide financial assistance to the birth mothers.

Living expenses include money for groceries, clothing, housing, transportation, and the like. Adoptive parents may pay living expenses in addition to medical expenses. Medical expenses do not count toward living expenses.

If you are thinking about putting your baby up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for your baby, we at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) will help with your living expenses during the second two trimesters of the pregnancy and up to 6 weeks following the birth of the baby. However, adoptive parents may not buy a baby from a birth mother. Paying and receiving money in exchange for a consent to adoption constitutes “baby selling,” a felony in Indiana. Receiving help with your living expenses is okay.

Kirsh & Kirsh has helped birth mothers finding loving, secure, and happy homes for their precious babies for more than 35 years. We can help you, without cost or obligation on your part. We will always treat you will kindness and respect.
