Adoption Adoption Process Birthmother

IS A BIRTH MOTHER REQUIRED TO HAVE HER OWN ATTORNEY, AND DOES SHE HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN COUNSELING? WHY DOES KIRSH & KIRSH GIVE A BIRTH MOTHER THE OPTION OF HAVING HER OWN ATTORNEY AND RECEIVE COUNSELING? 

We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) want the birth mothers and expectant mothers whom we assist with adoptions to fully understand their rights and make the best possible decision for themselves and their children. As experienced adoption professionals, Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh know that a pregnant woman thinking about putting her baby up for adoption will often make a better decision for herself and her unborn child if she makes a decision based on good reasons rather than emotions. Counseling helps a mother to focus on her reasons and gives her the tools to keep her emotions from clouding her reasons. This is true whether she decides to give up her child up for adoption or parent her child.

As the attorneys for the adoptive parents, Kirsh & Kirsh cannot give legal advice to the birth parents. Kirsh & Kirsh can and does explain adoption procedure and what to expect in the process but ethically cannot give legal advice. Therefore, Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh always offer separate legal representation to birth mothers and expectant mothers, at the expense of the prospective adoptive parents. To it in another way, like counseling for birth mothers, legal representation is not required, but Kirsh & Kirsh makes it available, at no cost to them. 

If you have an unplanned pregnancy or an untimely pregnancy and are thinking about giving your baby up for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for your newborn or young baby, 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. 

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. All 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 Tipton or Indianapolis, North Vernon or Bloomington, Huntingburg or Evansville, Elkhart or South Bend, Goshen 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 contacts you want after the child’s birth.

Adoption Birthmother

I NEED TO PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION BUT FEAR THAT I WILL CHANGE MY MIND AFTER I GIVE BIRTH. CAN I SIGN A CONSENT TO ADOPTION BEFORE THE BABY IS BORN?

Neither Indiana nor any other state allows an expectant mother, considering giving her baby up for adoption, to irrevocably consent to adoption before she gives birth. Even if a state allows for pre-birth consenting, the state will give the birth mother a few days after birth to change her mind and withdraw her consent to adoption. Unlike many states which make a birth mother wait hours or days after giving birth before signing a consent to adoption, Indiana Code § 31-19-9-2 allows a birth mother to consent to the adoption of her newborn, any time after birth. We at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) respect a woman’s right to decide for herself if and when she is ready to consent to an adoption. While we want the birth mother sleep on her decision after she gives birth, we will accommodate her wishes as to when she signs so long as the social service and medical staff believe that she has sufficiently recovered from the delivery to understand the consequences of her decision. Also, Indiana law gives the birth mother the opportunity, but not the requirement, to confirm her consent to adoption for the judge, without having to physically appear in court. A birth parent will not face a more difficult decision in their life than the decision to give up their baby for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan, for their child. At Kirsh & Kirsh, we tailor each adoption to the needs of the people involved rather than employing a “one size fits all” approach. 

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.

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.

Not, if you don’t want to. We, at Adoption Attorneys, Kirsh & Kirsh, PC (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), always try to make adoption planning as easy as possible for birth mothers and expectant mothers facing untimely pregnancies or unplanned pregnancies.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T LIVE IN INDIANA AND I ASK ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, PC (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) TO HELP ME FIND A HOME FOR MY BABY?

Although the main office of Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh is in Indiana, we actively work with birth mothers and expectant mothers, thinking about putting their babies up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan, in Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Michigan. Rob Kirsh, one of the Kirsh attorneys, is also licensed to practice law in those states. Therefore, birth parents often ask this question. If the prospective adoptive parents live in Indiana, we will follow Indiana law, which does NOT require the birth mother to jump through lots of hoops like meeting in person with counselors, waiting days after giving birth to sign a consent to adoption, having to go to court and stand in front of a judge, being forced to identify the father of the child, among other burdens which some states place on birth mothers.

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.

IF I PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION, CAN ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”) HELP ME FIND AN ADOPTIVE HOME FOR MY BABY?

Yes! Not only does Kirsh & Kirsh represent lots of wonderful, thoroughly-investigated, carefully-screened, loving prospective adoptive parents, you can have as LITTLE OR AS MUCH involvement in choosing the adoptive family as you would like. Some expectant mothers and birth mothers want to review profiles of families, including their photos and information about them, text/talk or even meet prospective adoptive parents, and others want us to pick the family for them based upon their requests for the type of family who adopts or just wants us to pick the best possible family for their baby. We at Kirsh & Kirsh try to simplify the process for birth parents and expectant mothers as much as possible. We do not require ongoing, face-to-face meetings with us. Of course, we will make all arrangements for the adoption in a way that satisfies all ethical and legal requirements, but you will have as much control as you would like to have.

IF I CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT PUTTING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION AND DCS GETS INVOLVED AFTER I GIVE BIRTH, AND THEN I DECIDE TO GIVE THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION, CAN I STILL DO IT?

Unfortunately, probably not. Once the Indiana Department of Child Services, Kentucky Division of Child Care, Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services, Tennessee Department of Children Services, Michigan Children’s Protective Services, or Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (to make it simple we will refer to that department in any state as “DCS”) gets involved, DCS will likely make all decisions regarding your baby. Not typically do those decisions include allowing you, as the birth mother, to have a say in who adopts your baby or even whether you can place your baby for adoption. Your best bet if you think that DCS will get involved because have other open DCS cases or you have used drugs during your pregnancy, you should give a lot of thought to what you believe is best for you and your baby. If you want DCS to put your baby in a foster home and provide services to you to enable DCS to reunite you with the child, then you should not proceed with an adoption. On the other hand, if want your baby to go to forever home, with your input, you should contact an adoption agency or adoption professionals like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) before DCS assumes control over your baby at the hospital. If you and the baby are still in the hospital and DCS has already intervened, contact us at Kirsh & Kirsh. We may be able to help but don’t get your hopes up.

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 Birthmother

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.

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 90 years of combined legal experience arranging adoptions and pride themselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.
