What is the “full range of openness and relationship options” mentioned above?
In all cases, the adoptive family will receive a written report outlining the donor family’s medical, educational, and social history. However, names, addresses, and other types of identifying information won’t be included. Some donors will prefer that level of anonymity. Other donors will want to share pictures of themselves with the adoptive family. Some donors may feel comfortable sharing an e-mail address or talking by phone with the adoptive family. And still other donors will want to meet the adoptive family in person. Over time, some families may be most interested in having ongoing contact with the adoptive family. Some may prefer that the ongoing contact continue through a third party. Because each donor—and each adoptive parent—will have different preferences and needs, Bethany offers families the same range of openness and anonymity choices that we make available through our traditional adoption programs.
