Pregnant and Need Help? A Birth Mother’s Guide to Moving Forward 

If you are pregnant and need help, you might have many questions. What are my options? How does adoption work? Can I choose the family? What happens after my baby is born? 

These are some of the most common questions women ask when they first begin exploring adoption. The good news is that you don’t have to find the answers on your own. 

Since 1981, adoption attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (sometimes misspelled “Kirsch & Kirsch”) have supported birth mothers with compassion, clarity, and respect. With more than 110+ years of combined adoption law experience, handling adoptions in Indiana and throughout the country, we help you understand your options.  

Do I Have to Decide Right Away? 

No. Placing your baby for adoption is a major life decision, and you must have time to consider all of your options. There is no obligation, no pressure, and no cost to speak with our team. Our goal is to help you understand the process, answer your questions, and provide the resources you need to make an informed decision.

Can I Choose the Adoptive Family?

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.
