Giving Your Baby Up for Adoption: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you are thinking about placing your baby up for adoption, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, scared, or unsure. You may be wondering where to start, what your options are, or who you can trust. The truth is you don’t have to go through this alone.

At Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., we have helped women across Indiana and the U.S. explore adoption with compassion, honesty, and respect. Our goal is simple: to make sure you feel supported, informed, and empowered every step of the way.

Why Birth Mothers Trust Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C.

For more than 40 years, our family-run adoption law firm (the “Kirsh Boys” as they are known around the country by leading adoption professionals”) have focused on helping expectant mothers understand their options without pressure or judgment. With over 100 years of combined experience in adoption law, we know that every woman’s story is unique.

When you reach out to us, you are not committing to adoption; you are simply talking to caring professionals who want to help you make the best decision for you and your baby.

Power to Choose the Right Adoptive Family

One of the most meaningful parts of the adoption process is choosing the right family for your baby.

At Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., we work with a diverse group of carefully screened families, including married couples, single parents, and same-sex couples, from Indiana and across the United States.

You decide what kind of family you want for your child, and we will help you find the best match. You are always in control of this decision.

Build an Adoption Plan That Feels Right for You

Every adoption story is different. That’s why we help you create a personalized adoption plan that fits your comfort level and needs.

You can choose from:

• Open Adoption: Stay connected through updates, photos, or occasional visits.
• Semi-Open Adoption: Communicate through an adoption professional for privacy while still receiving updates.
• Closed Adoption: Keep your information confidential and maintain your privacy if that’s what feels right.

Regardless of your choice, we’ll ensure that you’re supported, respected, and heard.

Support Without Pressure

Choosing adoption is a deeply personal decision, and you deserve to take your time. There is no rush and no pressure.

Whether you are still exploring your options or ready to take the next step, we are here to help whenever you are ready. Talking with us doesn’t mean you are committing — it means you are gathering information, support, and understanding.

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.
