Adoption Resource Links
Adoptions of U.S.-born children increasingly are “open” adoptions, where the birth parents and the adoptive parents stay in some degree of contact. If you are considering an open adoption, you should speak with an attorney experienced in this area to learn more about the impact an open adoption can have on you and your new child.
