Does Full Circle Request Birthparent Updates? Are There Minimum Requirements?
We invite updates but do not “require” them. Many birthparents get busy with their lives after a placement and want to put some emotional distance between them and the placement period. Even in the warmest of placements, birthparents may need some ‘space’ to heal and integrate the experience. We offer regular post-placement counseling. Some birthparents participate and benefit from post-placement counseling. Other birthparents prefer to do counseling at a later particular time. We are delighted to hear from birthparents, often some months or years later. At that time, we often hear family medical updates, as well as how they are doing generally in their lives. If they’ve gone on to marry or have other children, they enjoy sharing the news of these developments. They often ask us to share this information with you as well. Some decide to do some counseling at a later time in their lives when other areas of their lives (e.g. their work, relationships with others) may feel strong enough f
