I Already Have Kids And Cannot Provide For Another One. What Are My Options?
The first question you should ask yourself — Is your inability to provide for another child temporary or will it last for the foreseeable future? If you only need a few days or a couple of weeks to be able to parent your child, then a close friend or family member may be able to help you out. Additionally, you might find an adoption agency that would assume temporary foster care of your child.
On the other hand, if you expect your situation to last longer, you need to explore a more permanent option for your newborn or soon-to-be-born baby. While a friend or family member may be willing to assume a long-term parenting role for your child, it is unlikely that they will readily relinquish custody of the child back to you after having acted as your child’s parent for several months or years. Frankly, you also need to consider the impact on your child if you were to remove your child from the only home the child has known for any length of time.
An option that would give your child a permanent, secure home, with loving parents, and the opportunity to realize his or her full potential while allowing you to focus your attention on the children you already have is to give the baby up for adoption, or more correctly, to make an adoption plan for your precious child by contacting adoption professionals like Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), a national adoption agency, or local adoption agency.
We, at Kirsh & Kirsh — or the “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh are sometimes called – Steve, and his brothers, Joel and Rob, and his son, Grant, pride ourselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment. We cannot make adoption an easy choice, but we can make it less scary by removing some of the unknowns. Ultimately, a birth parent will have to decide if adoption is in their own best interests and the best interests of their child. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, will not and cannot make that decision for anyone, but we can provide information and answers to questions – that way, you can make a well-informed decision.

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 moms’ search results in Google.
