If you contact an Indiana-based adoption law firm like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), whether you live in Indiana or outside of Indiana, you can take advantage of Indiana law which provides birth mothers options for fathers who will not respond to their text messages or calls. One such law is “Pre-birth Notice.” Basically, if an adoption agency or adoption attorney can arrange for the named, birth father to “actually” receive the notice (in other words, put it in his hand) prior to the birth of the baby and the father does not respond to the notice within 30 days of his receipt of it, further notice of the adoption and the father’s consent to the adoption are not needed. Very importantly, this can be done BEFORE the baby’s birth, does NOT require him to sign ANYTHING, and does not require the birth mother to give up her baby for adoption, or, more correctly, make an adoption plan, if he does not respond. The “Pre-birth Notice” Statute has proven useful in dealing with uncooperative alleged fathers. By the way, the statute does NOT require the mother to know for sure that the man to whom the notice is given really is the father. Therefore, if it is possible that more than one man could be the father of the baby, the notice can be given to each of them.

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.
