Adoption Process Birthmother

I AM NERVOUS ABOUT MEETING IN PERSON. DO I HAVE TO MEET ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”) TO PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION?

No, you do not have to meet anyone from Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, in person, if you would like to learn about giving your baby up for adoption. We are flexible and will explain what’s involved in an adoption in any way you will find helpful – FaceTime, Zoom, text, chat, telephone, email, etc. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, have found that mistaken beliefs and lack of information about adoption are two main reasons why more women do not consider giving up their babies for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for their newborns. We want to provide a woman facing untimely or unplanned pregnancy information in whatever way she is most comfortable receiving it so she can make a well-informed, knowing decision that best serves the baby’s best interests and her own needs.  Of course, we are also happy to meet in person in our office, her home, or anywhere in-between.

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. They cannot make adoption an easy choice, but they can make it less scary by removing some of the unknowns. Ultimately, a birth parent will have to decide if adoption is in their own best interests and the best interests of their child. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, will not and cannot make that decision for anyone, but we can provide information and answers to questions.

Our contact information is below.  We will answer your questions and provide you 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. The Kirsh Boys have 90 YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE practicing adoption law. We can help you find an AMAZING, WONDERFUL, adoptive home for your precious baby, whether you live in Lebanon or Indianapolis, Bloomington or Shelbyville, Sullivan or Terre Haute or any Indiana county or city in between, or ANYWHERE in Tennessee, Mississippi, or Kentucky.

We have lots of 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 full extent allowed by law.

You can call, text, and or email us anytime –call: 317-575-5555, text: 317-721-2030, email: AdoptionSupport@kirsh.com, or Facebook message: https://www.facebook.com/KirshandKirsh/. We answer our office phone 24 hours a day, every single day. We try to respond to emails and text messages within minutes of receipt.

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY TEENAGED DAUGHTER IS PREGNANT. SHE IS NOT READY TO BE A MOTHER. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

As the father of 3 boys and having been married for more than 45 years, I often recall what my father’s words: “Steve, don’t worry; it is just the first 20 years that are the hardest.”  I remember him telling me that when my boys were toddlers and going through the terrible twos.  As a parent of children who are now between the ages of 38 and 43, I realized that although my dad was trying to be funny, the first twenty years are really not the hardest.  As children get older, they face bigger problems.  As newborns, our biggest challenge was getting up in the middle of the night to change a dirty diaper, feed a hungry baby, or comfort a crying child.  “Monster Repellant Spray” (a.k.a. Lysol) worked wonders keeping the night monsters at bay when the boys were little, and it was bedtime. As they got older, their problems grew in complexity.  Even as a father of a forty-three old son, I still find myself giving lots of (often unsolicited) advice.

So what does this have to do with parenting a pregnant, teenage daughter?  The point is that parenting does not mean that you have to submit to your child’s wishes.  Parenting means that you assume responsibility and guide your children to the decision that is best for them.

Therefore, my advice to a parent of a teenage daughter, who is pregnant, is don’t stop being a parent because they happen to be pregnant.  With teenagers, you often have to convince them that it was their idea to take action, and, sometimes, a subtle approach is better than a more direct one. But if your first attempt at convincing them does not work, you must continue to try.

A pregnant teen faces the most difficult decision of her life and cannot possibly comprehend the commitment it takes to parent a child. And even though they may think they know everything as a teenager, they don’t.  That is where parenting comes in.

There is a balance because Indiana law does not allow a person to give a coerced consent to adoption.  And, in fact, a consent to adoption that is coerced would not be valid.  However, as a parent, you have the responsibility to guide and protect your child even if your child does not agree. Parenting is not about consensus building or winning popularity contests. Parenting is about raising your child to help them achieve their full potential.

IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, CAN I CHOOSE THE FAMILY THAT WILL ADOPT?

Because Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) have the largest adoption program in Indiana and one of the largest adoption programs in the Midwest, and possibly the United States, we can offer birth parents and expectant mothers a choice of many independently investigated, carefully screened, prospective adoptive parents who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their hearts and home. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, have helped approximately 4000 birth mothers find happy, loving, secure homes for the precious newborns. We have more than 35 years of experience handling adoptions in Indiana – NOT 35 years of “combined” experience as some groups advertise, when they add together the years individual members of the staff have assisted in adoptions. Additionally, unlike a national adoption agency, Kirsh & Kirsh is based in Indiana, but have prospective adoptive parents from all around the country.

As a birth mother or birth parent considering giving your child up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for your baby, you risk nothing by contacting us. We will treat you with kindness and respect, never pressure you, but will explain our adoption program and provide information about hopeful adoptive parents, without cost or obligation on your part. We give expectant mothers and birth mothers as much or as little involvement in the family selection process as they would like.

We have lots of wonderful, carefully screened, loving families (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 full extent allowed by law.
