“Giving Up My Baby for Adoption” in Indiana: What You Need to Know

If you’re an expectant mother in Indiana thinking about placing your child for adoption, you’re not alone. Many women search for phrases like “giving up my baby for adoption,” but it’s important to think of it as making an adoption plan. Whatever words you use, understanding your options is the first step.

Here at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., we’ve been helping women across Indiana with adoption plans since the 1990s. We’ve handled more adoptions than anyone else in the state and even helped write the adoption laws here. We’re good at what we do, and we’re here to help.

Financial Support for Expectant Mothers

If you’re worried about living expenses during your pregnancy, know that Indiana law allows adoptive parents to cover certain costs. You could receive up to $4,000 for living expenses, which can help ease some of the stress you may be feeling.

The Benefits of Open Adoption

Many women are concerned about not knowing how their child is doing after the adoption. With open adoption, you’ll have the opportunity to receive letters and pictures over the years, letting you stay connected in a way that’s comfortable for you. And importantly, you’ll have the right to spend as much time as you need with your baby at the hospital, both before and after signing any paperwork. This time is precious, and we make sure you have that space if you want it.
