How to Put a Child Up for Adoption Through a Licensed Attorney

Are you dealing with an unplanned pregnancy and thinking about how to put a child up for adoption? You might be worried about your future and your baby’s future. You may feel overwhelmed by the decisions ahead and uncertain about where to turn for trustworthy guidance.

Birth mothers choose to work with a licensed adoption attorney who can help them understand their rights, create a personalized adoption plan, and find a loving family for their child. 

At Kirsh & Kirsh, we have helped birth mothers throughout the adoption process for decades. We understand that every situation is unique, and we are committed to helping you make the decision that’s right for you and your child without pressure, judgment, or obligation.

Can You Put Your Baby Up for Adoption Through an Attorney?

Yes. In many states, licensed adoption attorneys are authorized to facilitate private adoptions. Working with an adoption attorney offers several advantages:

• Personalized adoption plan
• Help selecting an adoptive family
• Protection of your rights by your own, independent attorney, at no cost to you. 
• Assistance with hospital planning and legal paperwork
• Access to pregnancy-related financial assistance 

The attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (sometimes misspelled as “Kirsch & Kirsch” or “Krish & Krish”) bring more than 110 years of combined experience in handling adoptions in Indiana and across the country. Since 1981, the firm has completed more adoptions than most adoption law firms and adoption agencies in the country and is widely recognized as one of Indiana’s most trusted adoption law firms.

Cost to You

At Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., our services are 100% free to birth mothers. You will never pay us anything, not for a consultation, not for guidance, not for help finding a family, not for being here to help you. If you are ever told by an adoption attorney or adoption agency that you owe them money, walk away.

What About Counseling?

You are entitled to counseling as part of the adoption process, and the cost should be covered 100% by the adoptive family. This support does not have to end at placement. Ongoing counseling after placement is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.

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.
