DO I HAVE TO STAY WITH THE ADOPTION AGENCY I CONTACTED WHEN I FIRST THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING MY NEWBORN UP FOR ADOPTION?

No, you don’t. At times, a birth mother will contact a national adoption agency or local adoption agency because the adoption agency has an eye-catching website, or a friend used that agency, or because the agency has told the birth mother not to work with an adoption attorney, probably because of competitive jealousy. Sometimes, a birth mother will find that the adoption agency is too rigid in their requirements of her, that social workers or adoption agency counselors pry too much into her business, or the agency does not have adoptive parents whom the birth mother LOVES or with whom she could imagine placing her baby for adoption. 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 completely trust, or feel comfortable with, the adoption facilitator, whether an adoption attorney or adoption agency. We, at adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) 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 feels comfortable with us and our way of accommodating birth mother’s wishes. In other words, if a woman contacts or even meets with us, she never has to talk with us again.

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 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 with 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 McCordsville or Indianapolis, Bloomington or Terre Haute, Evansville or New Albany, or Angola or Ft. Wayne, Richmond or South Bend, 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.

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.

We at Kirsh & Kirsh 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.

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

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.

We can assist you with an Indiana adoption no matter whether you live in Westfield or Indianapolis, Bloomington or Bedford, Evansville or Newburgh, or Decatur or Ft. Wayne, or any Indiana city or county, in between.
