What to Expect When Working with Adoption Agencies in Kentucky

If you’re considering placing your baby for adoption and looking for adoption agencies in Kentucky, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Knowing what to expect from an adoption agency or adoption law firm can help you feel more confident and in control, whether you’re just starting to explore your options or already leaning toward adoption.

Reach out to an adoption agency or adoption attorneys like Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”—often misspelled as “Kirsch & Kirsch”), and get access to professional counseling. We have over 40 years of experience helping women like you with adoption and over 100 years of combined legal experience arranging adoptions. We will explain your rights, support you emotionally, and ensure you feel empowered, not forgotten or pressured.

Only Respect No Pressure

The first thing you should know. You’re in charge. A good adoption agency or attorney won’t pressure or rush your decision. Instead, you’ll talk with a compassionate professional.

At Kirsh & Kirsh, we believe that adoption is deeply personal. Whether you’re certain or have questions, we’re here to offer information, not judgment.

100% Free and Confidential Services

You should never have to worry about cost. You pay nothing when you work with Kirsh & Kirsh. All services for birth mothers are free and confidential.

We can help with:

• Medical bills and prenatal care
• Safe housing and living expenses (as allowed by Kentucky law)
• Transportation to appointments
• Emotional support and counseling
• Legal guidance by your own, independent attorney, through every step

You Choose the Adoptive Family

Yes, you get to choose. One of the most empowering parts of adoption is selecting the right adoptive family for your baby.

We’ll share detailed profiles of waiting families so you can find the perfect match. Do you want a couple who shares your values? A single parent? Someone with pets? Someone close to Kentucky? You decide. You can even speak with them (if you want) to build a connection before placement.

You Control the Type of Adoption

There’s no one-size-fits-all. You get to choose how much contact you want before and after the adoption:

• Open adoption – You stay in touch through visits, calls, or messages.
• Semi-open – You receive updates and photos through our team.
• Closed – No contact, and your identity remains private.

Whatever feels right for you is the right choice.

You’ll Create a Birth Plan That Reflects Your Wishes

We’ll help you create a hospital plan that honors your preferences:

• Who do you want in the delivery room
• How much time do you want with your baby
• How and when the placement will take place

You’ll Have a Team You Can Trust

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.
