What Krish & Krish does

Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. is a family-run Indiana adoption law firm founded in 1981 by Steve Kirsh and Joel Kirsh, operating as a professional corporation headquartered in Indianapolis. The firm provides comprehensive adoption legal services across a broad range of matter types, including newborn and infant adoption, step-parent adoption, foster care/DCS adoption, grandparent and family adoption, same-sex couple adoption, international adoption formalization, subsidy modification, and other unique adoption situations. Its attorneys are licensed in eight states (Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, and New Mexico), giving it a multi-state catchment for adoptive-family clients while remaining anchored in Indiana where the bulk of its practice and judicial experience is concentrated.

The firm operates a dual-sided service model: birth mothers receive free, confidential support, including counseling referrals, financial assistance with pregnancy-related living expenses (as permitted by Indiana law), personalized adoption planning, and hospital protocol coordination; adoptive families pay for legal representation from initial matching through finalization. The practice is multi-generational, currently staffed by four family-member attorneys (Steve Kirsh as Of Counsel, Joel, Rob, and Grant Kirsh) plus a small support team, with the founder transitioning into an Of Counsel role as the next generation takes on active matters.

Kirsh & Kirsh generates revenue exclusively through professional-service fees paid by adoptive families; no AI, software, or platform technology is part of the offering, and the firm has no external investors, funding rounds, or parent company. Its go-to-market relies on content-driven organic search (25+ blog pages targeting birth-mother queries), a 24/7 hotline and text/email intake, and an extensive referral network evidenced by 10,000+ completed adoptions since 1981 and high-profile recognitions including the U.S. Congressional Angels in Adoption Award (2005), Indiana General Assembly recognition (2006), and the Sagamore of the Wabash (2022).
