Open Adoption is the term used for a continuing, face to face relationship between the birth mother and the adoptive family. Research shows that the child will benefit from an ongoing, loving relationship with the birth mother because the child’s questions about adoption can be answered by them openly and honestly. An open adoption gives the birth mother the opportunity to show their child 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
