CAN THE FATHER OF THE BABY PARTICIPATE IN PUTTING THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

Of course, not all adoption agencies and adoption attorneys share the same philosophy, but we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) welcome a birth father’s cooperation in an adoption. However, not often is the father of the baby as interested in planning an adoption as he was at being present for the conception of the baby.

Yesterday, I met an expectant birth mother and birth father. The father fully supported the expectant mother’s desire to explore adoption for their baby, due to be born any day. He listened closely as I explained what they could expect if they decided to give up the baby for adoption, or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for the baby.

Under Indiana Adoption Law, a birth mother cannot sign a consent to adoption prior to a child’s birth, but the birth father can sign. He wanted to sign the consent at the time of our meeting, in case he could not make it to the hospital when the birth mother would sign her consent to the adoption. Not only did he have a full-time job, he thought he might have to care for their other children, while the mother of the baby was hospitalized for the birth.

He wanted to participate in selecting the adoptive parents from the profiles I gave to them and thought he might like to meet them. He said he would be happy to complete a background form like the one the mother will complete so that his child and the adoptive parents will have important medical and social history information, about him, as well as the mother of the baby.

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.

WHEN I FIRST FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT, I CONTACTED AN ADOPTION AGENCY. DO I HAVE TO WORK WITH THAT AGENCY OR CAN I USE SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP ME GIVE UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION?

No. Sometimes a birth mother will contact a national adoption agency or local adoption agency because the agency has advised the birth mother not to work with an adoption attorney or because the adoption agency has a slick website. At times, an expectant mother or birth mother will find that the adoption agency is too hard to reach, she does not like the agency’s policies, the agency’s counselors or social workers pry too much into the birth mother’s affairs, the agency does not have adoptive parents that the birth mother likes or with whom she could imagine placing her baby for adoption, or any number of other reasons. The decision to put up a baby for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan for a baby is too big a decision not to trust completely, or be comfortable with, the adoption facilitator, whether an adoption agency or adoption attorney. Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) understand this and are happy to meet with any woman thinking about adoption, without cost or obligation on her part, to give her the chance to see if she likes and feels comfortable with, us. In other words, if a woman contacts or even meets with us, she never has to talk with us again.

But, if you would like to work with us, we try our best to accommodate your desires and wishes. We know that every expectant mother, who contacts us, is unique and could care less about “the normal way of doing things.” Birth mothers want whatever makes the impossibly difficult decision of giving up a child for adoption easier – not more complicated.
