One of the biggest benefits of this process is that the birth parent(s) can often be more involved in selecting the family that will adopt the child, and the child can have a good understanding of where he or she came from. The term “open adoption” actually covers a pretty wide range of situations, but generally speaking it means that there is some contact between the birth parents, the adoptive parents, and the child. It’s important to understand each type so you can determine whether you prefer one or the other, or even some hybrid of the two. These decisions will be the basis for how much contact a birth parent or parents have with their child and the child’s adoptive family and can have a significant impact on the life of you and your children for many years to come. The decision to adopt a child or to give up a child for adoption often brings with it a myriad of other decisions, including whether you want to have an open or closed adoption.
