Local Adoption Agencies: What to Look for When Choosing the Best Agency

Finding out about your unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming. You might feel scared, confused, numb, or unsure where to turn next. Whatever you are feeling right now is completely valid. Remember, there are local adoption agencies and adoption attorneys to help you get the support you need. Talking with trusted adoption attorneys, such as Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh” — often misspelled as “Kirsch & Kirsch”), can help you process your feelings. 

What to Look for in an Adoption Professional

Choose an adoption professional who:

• Is licensed as an agency or attorney
• Offers you the option of choosing from a wide range of adoptive parents
• Encourages you to have your own lawyer 
• Supports open adoption 
• Offers post-adoption counseling

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.
