Post Adoption Contact Relationships

Determining the type of contact between adoptive parents, the birth parents and the child is an essential foundation for creating a positive adoption. Being able to support a child's identity in a healthy manner is a life long task. Unfortunately, this important aspect of the open adoption process does not always receive the attention needed.

When deciding on the degree of openness, each person brings to the table their own feelings, including hopes and fears. I can help:
