| Natalie | Posted: Nov 10, 2004 09:52:44 AM Hello. My family does not have an adopted child as of yet but we did have a foster child placed this summer in our home. We were very open with the mother and her extended family. We all bonded quite well. We were open and honest and had plenty of contact. I kept a baby calendar for the time the child was in our home. I sent regular updates and photos. The mother was very grateful for everything. I guess she realized we were there to help in her time of need. The child is now back with her and we still keep in contact. She even mentions our family in the child's web page. I could not have asked for a more perfect situation. After going through this, I think that a completely open adoption may be just fine if all parties agree and are comfortable with it. Location of course would be the biggest obsticle. Good Luck! | ||
| Wendy | Posted: Nov 07, 2004 10:18:37 AM We have a fully open adoption with our son's birthmom since birth, and he is now 3 years old. It is wonderful. We spend his birthday, xmas, mother's day, halloween, etc. together. I am also a reunited adoptee. If you wish to talk, my number is 866-705-5501. My email is njsosbaby@aol.com | ||
| M | Posted: Nov 05, 2004 12:34:39 AM I was looking at the stories of birthparents on this website and of the many I read ... none talked about having a fully open adoption with visits. Does "American Adoptions" promote semi-open adoptions only? | ||
