Finding out about your unexpected pregnancy can make you feel scared, confused, and overwhelmed, especially if you are struggling with substance use, unstable housing, financial crisis, or other personal challenges.
Many expectant mothers fear that once they go to the hospital, the local child welfare department or Department of Child Services (DCS) will take custody of their child.
If you are making an adoption plan through Adoption Attorneys Loving Adoptions by Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (sometimes misspelled as “Kirsch & Kirsch” or “Krish & Krish”), the process is different. The local welfare department will not get involved if a birth mother proceeds with an adoption through us.
Reporting Safety Concerns
Hospitals and medical professionals are mandatory reporters. That means if they believe a newborn is not safe after discharge, they will have to legally notify child welfare authorities.
It happens when:
- A mother tests positive for drugs
- There are concerns about addiction or mental health
- Living conditions may be unsafe
- A parent is unable to care for the baby
When the state gets involved, children are placed into foster care while parents work through court-ordered services. This process can take months or even years.

When a birth mother chooses to work with Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. before delivery, she is already creating a safe and permanent plan for her child.
With more than 110+ years of combined experience in adoption law, we help women explore adoption without pressure or judgment.
Instead of the state stepping in to make decisions:
- You remain in control

- Baby can be placed directly

You Have Choices
One of the biggest fears birthmothers have is losing all say in what happens to their child. Through adoption planning with Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., you can still make important decisions. Instead of a court deciding your child’s future, you are making a loving plan yourself.
You Do Not Have to Face This Alone
If you are pregnant and worried about the involvement of DCS, the local welfare department, or what will happen after delivery, it is important to know that you still have options.
Creating an adoption plan early can help protect your ability to make decisions for your child while giving your baby the chance for a stable and loving future.
No matter your circumstances, you deserve support, understanding, and accurate information about your choices.

POSITIVE ADOPTION LANGUAGE DISCLAIMER:
Please understand that these blogs 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 who come to us at first do not understand what that means. The most common search term on the Internet for pregnant 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.
