Adoption Adoption Process Adoptive Parent Birthmother

HOW CAN I BE CERTAIN I WON’T MAKE A MISTAKE IN CHOOSING WHICH FAMILY ADOPTS, IF I PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

Great Question and a reason you should work with an experienced, ethical adoption professional, whether it is a national adoption agency, local adoption agency, or adoption professionals like the adoption law firm of Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (Kirsh & Kirsh). The four Kirsh attorneys have over 100 years of combined legal experience arranging adoptions. Also, Kirsh & Kirsh has been in existence since 1981 and has over 600 5-star Google reviews. 

Secondly, you should consider a wide variety of prospective adoptive parents. It is not likely you would marry the first person you dated! If your best friend tells you that she knows a family who wants to adopt and you choose that family, you have based your decision on the recommendation of, perhaps, a well-intentioned friend, but probably not a person qualified to determine if her friend has the qualifications to adopt much less provide the necessary opportunities, support, and guidance for your child to live a productive, happy life.  Again, the experience of Kirsh & Kirsh will provide you with additional peace of mind.

Thirdly, adoption professionals like Kirsh & Kirsh will give you the opportunity to read about, talk with, and even meet prospective adoptive parents, if you wish. Trust your instincts. It will not take long for you to feel a connection with prospective adoptive parents or not. 

Lastly, and most importantly you need to understand that in life, there are no guarantees about anything. Frankly, if you are being honest with yourself, you will realize there are no guarantees that if you decide to parent your child, you will have made the best decision for your child. All you can do with any important life-decision is gather as much information as possible, trust your instincts, and have faith that things will work out for the best.

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 I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, CAN I RECEIVE LIVING EXPENSES OR MONEY FOR THE BABY?

Receiving living expenses and getting money for the baby are NOT the same. Neither Indiana nor any other state allows adoptive parents to give a birth mother money for the baby. In fact, doing so would constitute the crime of “baby selling” in many states. As an example, Indiana Code § 35-46-1-9 makes it a felony to receive or pay moneyfor the baby. However, like many states, Indiana allows adoptive parents to give a birth mother or an expectant mother living expenses to help her with her pregnancy-related expenses during her pregnancy and for the postpartum period. 

If you have an untimely pregnancy or unplanned pregnancy and are thinking about giving your baby up for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for your young child or newborn and would like more information about living expenses or to explore adoption, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C.

I AM ABOUT TO HAVE A BABY. WHY SHOULDN’T I JUST GIVE THE BABY TO MY BEST FRIEND WHO WANTS THE BABY RATHER THAN GOING TO THE TROUBLE OF ARRANGING AN ADOPTION, WHICH I HEARD IS EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT?

In the first place, adoption is NOT expensive for birth mothers – THEY PAY NOTHING. With most local adoption agencies and national adoption agencies, and adoption law firms, like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) the adoptive parents pay all costs associated with adopting – birth parents pay nothing.

Additionally, even though, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, do NOT require birth mothers or expectant mothers to attend endless meetings or jump through a bunch of hoops, making an adoption plan for a baby takes time and requires effort. But, after all, you are, QUITE LITERALLY, talking about your child’s ENTIRE LIFE. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, will make the process as efficient and straightforward as possible.

But understand, the trade-off for putting forth the time and effort is the assurance that your baby will have the opportunity to receive a happy, loving, financially secure home, with a family who has the resources – emotional, financial, and otherwise — to help your child achieve her or his full potential.

Lastly, some departments of children services, prosecuting attorneys, and child protection agencies might consider giving a baby to another person without formal, legal arrangements, as child neglect or child abandonment, subjecting the birth parent to criminal prosecution or entanglement with the department of children’s services, including with a birth parent’s other children

If I Am Placing My Baby For Adoption Do I Have To Speak With A Counselor?

Some adoption agencies and states require adoption counseling for pregnant women considering placing their baby for adoption. We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), do not require that the pregnant women, who have contacted us to help them find an adoptive family for their babies, participate in counseling. We offer counseling and, in fact, recommend counseling, but we do not require it. It can be overwhelming for a woman with an unplanned pregnancy to force her into counseling if she does not want to have any. Therefore Kirsh & Kirsh does not require it, whether you live in Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, or Kentucky.

Does Kirsh & Kirsh recommend counseling and make it available? Yes, of course! Over the last 35+ years of handling adoptions, involving numerous birth parents, we have found that those birth parents who make a parenting or adoption plan based on good reasons come to peace with their decision more easily than those who make a decision based solely upon emotions. Making a well-reasoned decision allows a mom to validate her decision by reviewing her reasons and knowing that while she may have second thoughts, her reasons are still valid, and, therefore, she made the right decision. A woman who lets her heart rather than her head guide her decision will have nothing to fall back on when her emotions fade, as emotions usually do.

Please review our more than 400, 5-Star Google Reviews.

If you like to know more about adoption options, contact us at Kirsh & Kirsh. We have helped numerous women with adoption plans over the last 35+ years. We have many loving families (single, gay, Lesbian, and married couples) carefully screened, who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their hearts and homes.

We will always treat your situation with care, confidentiality, kindness, and respect. Of the many pregnant women with whom we have worked over years, many, if not most, have needed help paying their living expenses while they were pregnant and during their postpartum recovery, which our prospective adoptive parent clients have gladly provided.

You can call, text and or email us anytime. To contact us—call: 317-575-5555, text: 317-721-2030, email: AdoptionSupport@kirsh.com, or Facebook message:  https://www.facebook.com/KirshandKirsh/.
