If I Put My Baby Up for Adoption, Do I Have to Go to Court?

Not usually, especially if you choose to work with Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”). Even if you live outside of Indiana and you select prospective adoptive parents, who live in Indiana, represented by Kirsh & Kirsh, we can file the adoption in Indiana. Indiana Law does not require birth parents to travel to court and stand in front of the judge. Indiana gives a birth parent the option of confirming their consent to adoption by telephone with the judge. Other states may have this requirement. Indiana does not. In fact, in some states that require a court appearance, the court hearing may not take place for days or even weeks after the birth of the child. There are many advantages of asking Kirsh & Kirsh, rather than a national adoption agency or local adoption agency, to assist you in finding an adoptive home for your newborn or older child. This is just one of those benefits.

If you would like more information about adoption and available living expenses during and after your pregnancy, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh — or the “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh are sometimes called – would be happy to help. Steve, and his brothers, Joel and Rob, and his son, Grant, pride themselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

POSITIVE ADOPTION LANGUAGE DISCLAIMER: Please understand that these blog posts 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 that come to us at first do not understand what that means. The most common search term on the Internet for expectant 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 mom’s search results in Google.
