The way you answer has huge consequences for the birthmother, you, and the child. Therefore, take time to think about it before you answer. Obviously, your friend – the birthmother – must trust you, and you may feel honored for her to have even asked you the question. In deciding what to do, here are a few things to consider:

  1. Most importantly, do you want a child (or another child if you already have a child or children)? If the answer is not 100% “Yes,” there is no need to read further. You have your answer. 
  2. Unless you are the father of the baby, it is NOT your responsibility to assume the life-long commitment of parenting the child, no matter how desperate your friend is. Do not feel obligated to help your friend.
  3. How will your parenting the child affect your relationship with your friend? What if she wants to make parenting decisions for you, especially if those decisions differ from yours? What if she starts treating you more like a babysitter than the parent of the child? What if, etc?
  4. What is in the child’s best interests? Should you suggest to your friend that she consider other options, such as having a family member of hers help, temporary foster care, or adoption?

If we could remove our emotions from decision-making and instead base our decisions on objective facts, most of us would make wiser decisions. As time goes on, emotions fade, but facts remain. Thus, if you could take your emotions out of your decision-making, you will likely come to a better conclusion. Of course, the problem is how do you remove emotions from such a personal decision. Try this – Imagine that a close friend of yours came to you with the same issue. What advice would you give your friend? Pregnancies come to an end in one of three ways — the birth of the baby, abortion, or miscarriage. Since miscarriages are not controllable, the options for your friend include giving birth and abortion. Abortion ends the pregnancy but not the fact that your friend was pregnant. While many women have determined that it was their right to make the decision to abort the pregnancy and have learned to live with it, is hard to imagine that any woman who aborted a child was proud of her decision. You need to ask your friend to think about how she will feel about having had an abortion in the years to come, as the abortion will always be a part of her personal story, even if nobody else knows she had an abortion. 

Giving birth does not necessarily mean parenting the child. Parenting is a lifetime, monumental commitment – not an 18-year obligation. Parents never stop parenting their children. If your friend is not ready to assume that commitment, she may want to consider giving the baby up for adoption or more correctly, making an adoption plan for the child.

At Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), we would never separate, nor have ever separated, twins by having them adopted into different adoptive parents. In fact, no reputable national adoption agency or local adoption agency would do so either. Also, if you worry about adopting twins costing too much for most prospective adoptive parents, adopting twins typically only adds a small amount of court costs and nursery charges for the second baby, often covered by Medicaid (or the state’s equivalent to Medicaid) or insurance.

Adoption establishes a legal parent-child relationship and, in all but second-parent adoptions and stepparent adoptions, terminates the parent-child relationship between the child and birth parents. Said differently, after the court grants an adoption, the parental rights of the biological parents come to an end and the adoptive parents become the child’s legal parents. Guardianship, on the other hand, does not make the guardian the child’s legal parent. The guardian assumes responsibility for the child but not parental rights to the child. When a guardianship ends, the birth parents reassume their roles as parents of the child. This highlights another important difference between guardianship and adoption – adoptions are permanent, and guardianships are usually temporary. If a birth mother does not feel ready for the responsibilities of parenthood due to her current circumstances, which she believes will resolve in relatively short period of time or wants to maintain contact with her child and knows someone who will remain guardian indefinitely, she should choose guardianship over adoption.  However, a birth parent should understand that even if a person says they will serve as guardianship of the child for as long as the birth parent wants, at some point, the guardian may start seeing the child as “their” child, form a deep emotional bond with the child, and be unwilling to voluntarily give the child back. If that should happen, the birth parent would likely have to go to court and prove that the guardianship no longer serves the child’s best interests. That task becomes more difficult the longer the guardian has been guardian. Additionally, the birth parent will have to overcome the fact that they implicitly admitted to their inability to care for the child when they asked for the guardianship in the first place. While guardianship often provides a viable alternative when a birth mother cannot immediately take care of her child, a birth mother should honestly assess her current situation and prospects for the future. If adoption could be in her child’s best interests, she should contact an adoption professional — an experienced, well respected adoption attorney, a national adoption agency, or a local adoption agency – to learn more about adoption.

When a baby is born, the hospital will complete an application for the newborn’s birth certificate and send it to the state or local department of health, depending on the state in which the birth mother gives birth. The birth mother’s name and the birth father’s name, if he has signed a paternity affidavit at the hospital or otherwise legally established paternity of the child will appear, as parents, on the original birth certificate. Also, they have the option of naming the baby, with a name meaningful to them. If they (or she, if the father is not involved) gave up the baby for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan for the baby. When the child reaches adulthood, the child can request and receive a copy of the original, pre-adoption, birth certificate from the state department of health, in most states. That birth certificate will include the birth mother and birth father, who had established paternity, as parents and the name they chose for the child. 

Once the court has finalized the adoption, the clerk of the court will complete a record of adoption and send it to the department of health. The department of health will then seal the original birth certificate and replace it with a birth certificate listing the adoptive parents as parents of the child, with whatever name they have chosen for the child. 

Sometimes, birth mothers and adoptive parents agree on a name for the child and that name will appear on the original birth certificate. However, even if the adoptive parents and birth mother coincidentally had the same last name and agreed on the baby’s first and middle names, the state health department would still seal the original birth certificate and issue a new, post-adoption birth certificate because the post-adoption birth certificate would list the adoptive parents as parents of the child. The original birth certificate would show the birth mother (and father if he signed a paternity affidavit or otherwise established paternity) as the parent(s).

There are two ways can assure yourself that your baby will not go into foster care. Make sure the Department of Child Services in Indiana or a similar agency in your home state does not intervene in the adoption. Even if you have had other run-ins with DCS or used drugs during your pregnancy, if you make arrangements to give up your baby for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan for your baby either within the first few hours after giving birth or before you deliver, you can probably avoid DCS involvement, which always involves foster care. The way to eliminate the possibility of your baby going to a foster home is to work with adoption professionals like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”). The adoptions which Kirsh & Kirsh arranges NEVER involve a baby going into the foster care system. On the other hand, if you want to utilize foster care, you should contact a national adoption agency or a local adoption agency. While adoption agencies rarely use foster care, they license foster parents.

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 contact Indiana-based Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) to find an adoptive home for your baby, even if you live in Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, or any other state, we can rely on Indiana’s very favorable adoption laws. Among other things, Indiana law does NOT require a birth mother to identify the father of the child. However, if she identifies the baby daddy and provides an address at which he can be found, we can notify him of the adoption and potentially stop his challenge of the adoption before she gives birth. If the birth mother got pregnant in a state with a putative father registry, we at Kirsh & Kirsh can rely on that state’s putative father registry in an Indiana adoption proceeding. In short, if the father does want contact from you, you can still give up your baby for adoption or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for your baby, if you work with knowledgeable, experienced adoption professionals like Kirsh & Kirsh.

Some states like Indiana, make it a FELONY for a woman pretending to be a birth mother or a birth mother to accept living expenses if she does not intend to make an adoptive placement or is not pregnant. See Indiana Code § 35-46-1-9.5. Besides possible jail time under the criminal statute, the defrauded adoptive parents can sue her for THREE TIMES the amount of money she took PLUS attorney fees under Indiana Code § 34-24-3-1.5.

On the other hand, if a woman sincerely intends to give up her baby for adoption and has an honest change of heart, she will not be in trouble.

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 on Google.
