Openness in Adoption

Philosophy and Practice

OPENNESS IN ADOPTION allows birth and adoptive families to mutually create their own unique adoption plan.

OPENNESS allows communication between birth and adoptive parents. This communication can begin before the child is born, in order to facilitate a smooth transition for all parties.

OPENNESS IN ADOPTION is practiced in degrees. It is not all or nothing, rather an opportunity to grow.

OPENNESS IN ADOPTION allows for birth and adoptive families to begin to develop a relationship that may last a life time. As in any relationship, there are periods of change.
