How to Start the Adoption Process in Indiana for Your Newborn?

Deciding to place your newborn for adoption is a deeply personal choice. Understanding the steps involved can help you confidently navigate this process. If you’re thinking about adoption in Indiana for your newborn, Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”—often misspelled as “Kirsch & Kirsch”) is here to help you.

Contact the Right Adoption Professional

Make sure to choose a professional licensed in Indiana who offers the support you need. Our team at Kirsh & Kirsh will help you evaluate your options, explain the adoption process, and answer your questions.

Create an Adoption Plan

Once you’ve chosen an adoption professional, creating a personalized adoption plan is the next step.

Types of Adoption

There are three types of adoption plans (open, semi-open, and closed adoption) to choose from.

In an open adoption, you can maintain contact with the adoptive family and your child. A semi-open adoption involves limited contact. A closed adoption means there is no contact after placement. You can decide how involved you want to be in your child’s life.

Our compassionate adoption support team is here to help you make the right choices. We respect your choices and never judge you.

Choosing the Adoptive Family

The most important decision is to choose an adoptive family for your baby. As attorneys, we at Kirsh & Kirsh have high standards for the prospective adoptive parents we choose to represent. We have carefully screened loving families from Indiana and all over the country (married, single, Lesbian, and Gay).

We encourage birth mothers to be as involved as they would like to be in the process and to choose the right family for their child.

Support and Counseling

Adoption is a significant emotional journey, and support is key. We can help you process your emotions, discuss your decision, and provide guidance on what to expect during and after the adoption. It is normal to have many questions about the adoption process.

We are a team of experienced adoption attorneys in Indiana with over 100 years of combined experience arranging adoptions. Take your time and understand your options before making a decision. We’re here 24/7.

We will not charge you anything. Contacting us does not mean you have to work with us.

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.
