Why We Chose Open Adoption

We would like to have a relationship with you that will be easy-going and comfortable for all of us. Our child will grow up knowing all about the love and care that you put into their adoption plan. We feel this is the best way to ensure our child grows up feeling "whole", loved, and happy.

At the same time, all open adoptions are as unique as the families and birthparents planning them. Open adoption will give all of us choices and involvement in creating the best possible placement plan. Most important, we want our child to know his or her birth parents as very caring people who will always be there and who love him or her very much.
