What Does an Adoption Attorney Do? A Complete Overview

Are you pregnant and thinking about adoption? You might not know what comes next, or where to begin. You don’t need to have everything figured out today. There are adoption agencies and adoption attorneys who can help you get clear, honest information to understand adoption in Indiana.

At Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (sometimes misspelled “Kirsch & Kirsch”), we support expectant birth mothers with compassionate guidance.

With more than 110+ years of combined adoption law experience, we help you explore your options and process your feelings at your own pace.  

Choosing adoption isn’t giving up. It’s making a thoughtful, loving decision for your child’s future. It means choosing a stable, safe, and nurturing home for your child.

Adoption in Indiana with Our Team

• Our team will listen, answer your questions, and provide support.
• We will explain your rights, choices, and the resources available.
• If you move forward, you will review profiles of adoptive families and choose the one that feels right to you.
• You will decide what kind of relationship you want with the adoptive family after placement.
• When your baby is born, you will have as much time as you want together. 
• You can sign your consent any time after birth. Once signed, the decision is legally final.

Counseling

As part of the adoption process, birth mothers are entitled to counseling. It is a core part of what good adoption care looks like. The cost of counseling is covered through the financial assistance provided by the adoptive family, which means it does not cost you anything.

Counseling will be available before placement, as you work through your decision, and after placement, as you process what you have been through. 

Take All the Time You Need

Nothing is final until you sign the consent which will not happen until after you have given birth and had time to collect your thoughts. 

If you are planning to put your baby up for adoption, compassionate support is available 24/7. You can reach out anytime to ask questions or simply talk through your options. There is no judgment. No pressure. Just support, information, and someone ready to listen. Because whatever you decide, you do not have to navigate this alone.

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,” our website will not appear in most expectant moms’ search results in Google.
