Adoption Process Birthmother

WHAT IS THE PROCESS IF I PUT UP MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

Pregnant women looking into adoption for the first time often ask us, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) that question. While we cannot speak for a local adoption agency or national adoption agency, we try to make the process as easy, stress-free, and uncomplicated as possible, with the CLEAR UNDERSTANDING that a birth parent’s decision to put up their baby for adoption, or more correctly, make an adoption plan for the child is the most heart-wrenching, difficult – yet COURAGEOUS, UNSELFISH AND HONORABLE – decision a person will ever face. At Kirsh & Kirsh, we CANNOT make the decision EASY, but we try to make it EASIER by eliminating as many unnecessary, intrusive steps as possible and making ourselves available 24/7/365.

In short, we represent thoroughly investigated, carefully screened, prospective adoptive parents who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their homes and hearts. When an expectant birth mother contacts us, we will gather information from her in order to present her profiles of waiting families we think she might want to consider as adoptive parents for her baby. We give her the opportunity to read about the families, look at pictures showing them and the life they hope to offer her child, talk/text with the family, and even meet them in person if she wishes.

Additionally, we will arrange for her to speak with a counselor to help her anticipate the emotions she can expect and provide her tools to help her come to peace with her decision. If she does not have insurance or Medicaid, we will help her try to obtain coverage. If not, we will see that her pregnancy-related, medical bills, as well as living expenses, get paid. We will let the maternity department know that she is CONSIDERING adoption so that when she arrives at the hospital in labor, she does not have to explain her situation to several different people. “Considering” because a birth mother cannot be held to a final decision about adoption until after she gives birth, AND she formally signs a consent to adoption. Said differently – NOTHING a birth mother says or does before she gives birth and signs a consent to adoption obligates her to proceed with an adoption.

After she gives birth, if she chooses to proceed with the adoption, we will arrange for her to sign a consent to adoption, at a time convenient for her, usually the day following the birth – but NO SOONER than when she is ready. We encourage her to have with her whomever she would like as support. We will then have her confirm her consent for the judge by telephone. The judge just wants to hear her say that she signed the consent voluntarily, freely, and with a clear understanding of what she signed. The court will then issue an order authorizing the hospital to release the baby directly into the adoptive parents’ arms – NOT TO A FOSTER HOME and with NO involvement of the Department of Children Services.

All families whom we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, represent will provide the birth mother photographs and letters for 18 years letting her know how her child is getting along.

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 ourselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

HOW WILL THE REVERSAL OF ROE V. WADE IMPACT ADOPTION?

In general, adoption professionals avoid expressing an opinion about abortion or Roe v. Wade because banning or limiting abortion seems self-serving in that it would obviously make more babies available for adoption. In this Blog, we at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) are not advocating for the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the United States Supreme Court but simply stating statistical facts. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported that approximately 625,000 women have abortions each year. According to the National Council for Adoption Factbook, there were just over 18,000 unrelated, domestic adoptions of newborns a year.  If 10% of those women who had abortions gave their babies up for adoption, or more correctly, made adoption plans for their babies, the number of unrelated domestic adoptions would have INCREASED by 62,500 per year – 350%.

If the United States Supreme Court determines that the United States Constitution does not include the right to have an abortion, some states will impose substantial restrictions or limitations on the availability of abortion. In those states, the number of babies available for adoption will increase. However, it is NOT the obligation of pregnant women considering abortion to put up their babies for adoption. A woman facing an unplanned or untimely pregnancy undoubtedly faces the most difficult, gut-wrenching decision one could imagine. Ultimately, she will have to determine what is in her best interests. A woman, who believes that life begins at conception, will also take into consideration the best interests of her unborn child.

If you face an unplanned or untimely pregnancy and 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 ourselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

WHAT WILL MY FRIENDS THINK OF ME IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION?

While you may let what your friends think of you guide some decisions, you will likely never have a decision more impactful or consequential than the decision to give up your baby for adoption or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for your soon-to-be-born or unborn newborn. An adoption plan impacts not only your life but, more importantly, your baby’s life. Considering your friend’s feelings and opinions may be a “nice” thing to do, and, in some cases, insightful, you, the birth parent, are responsible for your child’s life and future well-being – not your family and friends. Of course, you should gather as much information and seek input from those whom you trust, but, in the end, how they “feel” or “what they may think of you,” should not enter your decision to do what YOU believe is best for YOUR child.

We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. — 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. 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 – that way, you can make a well-informed decision.

HAVE WE WAITED UNTIL TOO LATE TO PUT OUR BABY UP FOR ADOPTION?

This past weekend, we at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) received an urgent phone call very early on Sunday morning, in fact just after midnight, from a birth father on the way to the hospital with his pregnant fiancé, who was in labor. The birth father found us on the Internet, liked that we had over 500, 5-Star Google reviews and an A+ Rating from the Better Business Bureau. He worried that they had waited too late in the birth mother’s pregnancy to begin looking into giving up their baby for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for the baby. Steve Kirsh, one of the four, Kirsh & Kirsh attorneys, assured him that we had plenty of time to arrange for adoption and that we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, have handled adoptions when our first contact from a birth parent came more than a day AFTER the birth mother had given birth. Because of the large size and scope of our adoption program, we have a wide range of prospective adoptive parents, homestudy approved, thoroughly investigated, and ready to drop everything to adopt a newborn.

I AM OLDER THAN A TEENAGER. IN FACT, I HAVE OTHER CHILDREN. CAN ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH’) HELP ME PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION?

YES! You might believe that newborn adoptions usually involve teenaged birth mothers, but believe it or not, most expectant mothers are closer to 32 years of age than 17, and many have one or more other children. In our experience at Kirsh & Kirsh, teenage moms are less likely to give up their babies for adoption (or, more correctly, make an adoption plan for her newborn), perhaps because teenagers tend to have a hard time projecting themselves into the future. That may be one reason why so many of our expectant mothers are older and have other children. They know what is involved with supporting themselves and being responsible for a child 24/7/365. Raising a child takes more than changing diapers and feeding. As children get older, their needs get bigger – as anyone who has older kids knows.

IF I PUT MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION, CAN I PICK THE ADOPTIVE FAMILY?

ABSOLUTELY, if you work with Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”). Years ago, pregnant women, with untimely pregnancies or unplanned pregnancies would go to adoption agencies to give up for adoption their babies, or more correctly, make adoption plans for their newborns. The agencies, using their own criteria, decided who would adopt a woman’s baby, with little or no input from her. Adoption Law Firms like Kirsh & Kirsh understood that pregnant women wanted to decide for themselves who would adopt. Of course, they wanted the prospective adoptive parents to undergo careful screening and investigation, but the expectant mothers, who would be entrusting the lives of their precious babies to a family, found greater peace if they could direct which family adopted. Now, almost all local adoption agencies and national adoption agencies follow the model that Kirsh & Kirsh pioneered in Indiana nearly 40 years ago and give the birth parents the option of choosing the adoptive parents.

ADOPTION AND ABORTION – THE SIMILARIITES AND DIFFERENCES?

They are the same in some ways but VERY different in what is, perhaps, the most important way.

The similarities include:

  1. Both are very personal decisions.
  2. Both are readily available and legal, in most places.
  3. The birth parents do not have the responsibility for raising the child.
  4. Neither changes the fact that the expectant mother conceived a child and is pregnant.
  5. Both are unforgettable experiences.
  6. They cannot be “undone.”
  7. No matter what decision you make — some will agree with you and some will criticize you.

The differences include:

  1. In an adoption, the birth mother carries the baby for nine months and then leaves the hospital without the baby, while an abortion immediately terminates the pregnancy.
  2. Few people understand how a woman can “give away her baby” through adoption, yet at the same time, nearly ½ of the people living in the United States STRONGLY believe that abortion is “okay.”
  3. Abortion does not give the child an opportunity to live life nor fulfill his or her or his destiny.
  4. Adoption demonstrates a birth mother’s (parent’s) sacrificial love for her/their child by putting the child’s life ahead of her/their own desires, needs, and wants.
  5. In adoption, the child lives.

I AM ABOUT TO HAVE A BABY. WHY SHOULDN’T I JUST GIVE THE BABY TO MY BEST FRIEND WHO WANTS THE BABY RATHER THAN GOING TO THE TROUBLE OF ARRANGING AN ADOPTION, WHICH I HEARD IS EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT?

In the first place, adoption is NOT expensive for birth mothers – THEY PAY NOTHING. With most local adoption agencies and national adoption agencies, and adoption law firms, like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) the adoptive parents pay all costs associated with adopting – birth parents pay nothing.

Additionally, even though, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, do NOT require birth mothers or expectant mothers to attend endless meetings or jump through a bunch of hoops, making an adoption plan for a baby takes time and requires effort. But, after all, you are, QUITE LITERALLY, talking about your child’s ENTIRE LIFE. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, will make the process as efficient and straightforward as possible.

But understand, the trade-off for putting forth the time and effort is the assurance that your baby will have the opportunity to receive a happy, loving, financially secure home, with a family who has the resources – emotional, financial, and otherwise — to help your child achieve her or his full potential.

Lastly, some departments of children services, prosecuting attorneys, and child protection agencies might consider giving a baby to another person without formal, legal arrangements, as child neglect or child abandonment, subjecting the birth parent to criminal prosecution or entanglement with the department of children’s services, including with a birth parent’s other children

IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION, DO I HAVE TO SEE OR TAKE CARE OF THE BABY IN THE HOSPITAL?

No. Every birth mother who gives her baby up for adoption, or more correctly, makes an adoption plan for her baby, comes to peace with her decision in her own way. We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., will honor whatever decision you make regarding seeing and/or caring for the baby in the hospital. If a birth mother opts not to do so, the prospective adoptive parents or hospital nursery nurses are more than happy to change, hold, feed, and nurture the baby. As obvious as it may sound, a woman, facing an untimely pregnancy and thinking about adoption, should void all of those things that make the decision harder and do all of those things that make her decision easier. Whether or not to see the baby is one of those choices. Over the years handling adoptions, we have found that most women choose to see the baby in the hospital, but adoption is a uniquely personal decision, and even though most women choose to see their babies, not all women make that choice. We make counseling available to the women who contact us about adoption. Frankly, we encourage (but do NOT require) counseling. Discussing with a counselor whether to see the baby may help an expectant mother to decide what is best for her.

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.
