Interested in Learning a Bit More About Open Adoption???

 I enjoyed this article in the Associated Press.  Below are two short sections which stood out to me.   Read the entire article at: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/report-details-increase-open-adoptions-article-1.1048097

"Of the roughly 14,000 to 18,000 infant adoptions each year, about 55 percent are fully open, with the parties agreeing to ongoing contact that includes the child, the report said. About 40 percent are “mediated” adoptions in which the adoption agency facilitates periodic exchanges of pictures and letters, but there is typically no direct contact among the parties."

"For adoptive families, they need to make sure they live up to their commitments, and not try to go back on their initial agreement,” he said. “On the birthparent side, they need to remember that this isn’t co-parenting — part of their role has to be blessing the new home that their child has.”
