JOEL KIRSH: There's no shortage of adoptive parents. The birth mother can have as much or as little involvement as she'd like to in the selection process. If she's not comfortable with doing that, she can tell us what she's looking for in a family. And we can find an appropriate family for her.

STEVE KIRSH: We're very selective about the people we choose to represent as adoptive parents. As attorneys, we don't have to represent just anyone who walks in the door. And we won't.

I've always said--and I really believe this--that if I wouldn't be comfortable with a family adopting any of my three kids, I wouldn't represent them in adopting someone else's.

Joel and I interview all of the prospective adoptive parents. In addition, we require all of them to have a home study done by a licensed adoption agency. Everything about them is checked and investigated. Most importantly, we want to be sure that the babies that we help find homes for find loving, secure homes.

JOEL KIRSH: The birth mother can tell us exactly what she's looking for in a family. And we will provide her with information on families that meet those exact requests. Then she'll decide on a family based upon her own personal comfort level. She can review written information. She can talk to them by phone. And if she'd like to, we can arrange a meeting with the adoptive family.

STEVE KIRSH: Every expectant mother who contacts us is concerned. How much is this going to cost? At Kirsh and Kirsh, we never charge birth mothers a fee.

We're happy to answer all of your questions. Whether it's about the process of adopting, how adoptive parents are selected, or anything else, we're here to help you. Just give us a call.
