What does the ongoing contact look like?
The type and frequency of the contact can very greatly, depending on the wishes of both the birthmother and the adoptive parents. We have found that most birthmothers will meet with a chosen family prior to the birth, and continue to have contact afterwards. Some birthparents want to visit the family they have chosen on an ongoing basis after the placement, and other birthparents visit the family a few times and then receive pictures and letters. This is something you will discuss with the family once you get to know them.
