Won’t our child be confused as to who the “real” parents are if they are seeing birth parents?
When you read about child development stages it becomes apparent that children do not become confused when they are around relatives. In almost three decades of doing open adoptions, I have never seen a child confused about relatives who visit, including birth parents. Also, when a child has a bond with parents, they do not look to others for comfort—they want Mom and Dad who are familiar.
