What is openness in adoption?
Openness in Adoption is a broad term that means the exchange in some form, information or contact between the birth family and adoptive family. Openness is available due to the recognition of the need and right of the adopted person to have accurate medical/health and social information. We know birth parents often continue to take an interest in the child, and that adoptive parents can benefit from an open exchange of information to help them to be better parents. With respect for each other’s role, adoption can be recognized as a responsible choice.
