Hot Topics Board #2– Open Adoptions – Hot Topics Group 3
From FAM 452 H0011111 unread replies.1111 replies.
As you read in chapter 6, the reasons that families choose to adopt a child are varied. There are several factors to consider, but the allowed amount of involvement from birth parents is one that adoptive parents often struggle with.
Today, the majority of adoptions are open or semi-open by default, which means there is a degree of involvement and disclosure of information between adoptive and birth parents regarding the adopted child. Each type of adoption (open, semi-open, closed) comes with its own list of “pros and cons” to consider, so adoptive parents need to know what they are signing up for.
