Did You Know?
Open adoption is a general term that refers to contact between birth and adoptive families. Most domestic infant adoptions today encompass some degree of openness. In several states, open adoption relationships are defined and agreed upon in a legally binding contract. In other states, however, the agreement is an informal one between the parties involved, without the legal underpinnings. Ask your agency or adoption resource which laws will apply to you.

Growing Up Adopted
What Parents Need to Know
As your child grows and learns more about her story, she will have more questions, concerns and feelings about adoption.
Understanding those emotions and feelings is essential to helping your child build a healthy identity. But how do you learn how to best support her?
Ask someone who's been there! We’ve gathered a panel of adopted people – adopted domestically, internationally and from foster care - to reflect back on their own experiences and answer YOUR questions about:
- Their feelings about adoption including loss, shame and differences
- Their feelings on talking about adoption - to their parents and others
- What their parents did right and what they wish they had done differently
Submit your questions for our panel here – we’ll ask our panel the top 10!
