What type of contact may the birth mother have with the adopting family?
Contact with the adopting family is completely optional and at the discretion of both the birth mother and the adopting family. Most birth mothers talk to the adopting parents on the phone to get the majority of their questions answered. Usually before the birth of the child, the birth mother meets the adopting family. Continuing contact may be agreed upon by the birth mother and the adopting family, and most birth mothers request letters and pictures after the birth of the child.
