Exploring Unplanned Pregnancy Options: You Have Choices

In a moment, two pink lines can change everything. Finding out you’re pregnant when you weren’t planning can turn your world upside down. You might feel overwhelmed, scared, or unsure of what comes next. That’s okay. Take a deep breath—you’re not alone, and you do have unplanned pregnancy options.

At trusted adoption attorneys like Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C.,(“Kirsh & Kirsh” — often misspelled as “Kirsch & Kirsch”), over the last 4+ decades, we’ve worked with countless women across Indiana and beyond who’ve faced unplanned pregnancies. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, but we’re here to walk you through this journey if you’re considering adoption.

First Things First: Know Your Rights

This is your pregnancy. You’re in control. No one should try to force you into a decision you don’t want to make. We’re here only to support you.

Parenting

Some women choose to raise their baby themselves, even if it wasn’t part of the plan. That can be incredibly rewarding, but it is a huge commitment emotionally, financially, and physically. 

Ask yourself: 

• Do I have the support, resources, and stability to raise a child? If yes, that’s a valid path. 
• Am I ready to make the 24/7/365 commitment to parenting a child for at least the next 18 years?
• What kind of future do I envision for myself and my baby?

Adoption

Choosing adoption doesn’t mean “giving up.” It means making a thoughtful plan for your baby’s future. At Kirsh & Kirsh, we help you create a plan your way.

Here’s what that could include:

• You choose the adoptive family. Want a couple who already have kids? Or someone who shares your values? You decide.
  
• You decide how much contact you want. Some birth moms want updates and visits (open adoption), and some prefer more distance (closed adoption). Both are valid.
  
• You don’t pay a thing. All adoption-related legal, medical, and counseling costs are covered.
  
• You can change your mind. Until you sign a consent after birth, you’re free to explore options without commitment.

Abortion

For some women, this is the right choice. In Indiana, abortion laws are restricted, and you’ll need to act quickly and know your legal rights.

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.
