Description

Open adoption, to our knowledge was spear headed by birthmothers who wanted to have some control and knowledge of how their child was placed. The motivation came out of a basic human instinct, a mothers love for her child and her need to know that her baby is safe, well cared for and loved. Due to the pain and suffering that closed adoptions imposed on adoptees who had been placed in the traditional methods, adoptees embraced open adoption and helped lead the way for adoption reform and open records. At the same time open adoption agencies and adoption lawyers sprung forth to facilitate, support and lobby on behalf of open adoption. The open adoption philosophy can vary from person to person, agency to agency, and law firm to law firm. An Open Adoption can range from, very open to semi open to barely open. The basic thing that seams to be the common thread between the various types of open adoption, unlike closed adoption, is the birth family and adoptive family share personal information, such as birth and medical history. Short of this basic, the term "Open Adoption" lends itself to many definitions depending on the type of open adoption you want. We would like to point out that we are not open adoption specialists, facilitators, or counselors, so what we know about open adoption relates only to our own personal experience, so here is a little bit about our process.
