OPEN ADOPTION is the term used for a continuing, face to face relationship between you and your adoptive family. Research shows that your child will benefit from an ongoing, loving relationship with you because the child’s questions about adoption can be answered by you openly and honestly. An open adoption gives you the opportunity to show your child your love over and over again!
Participating in an open adoption takes commitment, but it can be very rewarding. The best way to decide if open adoption is right for you is to talk with birth mothers who have open adoptions. Jerusha placed her daughter in an open adoption 14 years ago. You can email Jerusha at AsHisMiracleGrows@gmail.com.
