Whats The Agencys Policy On Photographs And Letters?
Most birthparents, though not all, want to see photos and letter updates over the years to be reassured that their child is doing well. Some birthparents are clear about what they want around the time of birth and placement. Other birthparents are not as clear. We have noticed that some birthparents only gather the strength to see photos of their child years later. It is particularly for these latter birthparents that Full Circle has created a general policy that preserves their right to see photos/letter updates later. All families proceeding through Full Circle are asked to provide to the agency two photo letter updates per year for the first two years and once a year thereafter until age 18. Some birthparents never ask to see the photo/letter updates; others may do so years later and are greatly reassured that all is well. Some birth and adoptive parents decide to share these updates directly with each other.
