Some decide to begin raising the child, but due to a variety of life circumtances, they may find their way into foster care. In each case, biological parents and adoptive families will need to create a plan about the level of communication that will benefit everyone involved, especially the child. The path you choose is very personal, but you don\u2019t need to make it alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Levels of communication between biological and adoptive parents are broken down into three choices. Each offers different levels of interaction and has pros and cons. Making a loving plan will allow everyone to enter into an agreement with clear expectations. Ultimately, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/hoaa.heartofadoptions.com\/birth-parents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">birth mother<\/a>, you need to choose what makes you feel the most comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b>Open Adoptions<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, open adoption means there is ongoing contact between the birth and <a href=\"https:\/\/hoaa.heartofadoptions.com\/considering-adoption\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adoptive parents<\/a> after the process is complete. Both parties work with an attorney to draw up a contract so that the agreement is in writing. Most adoptions in the US are open to some degree. This option continues to evolve as researchers study the benefits of continued contact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pros:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It reassures you that you have done what is best for the child.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The child knows their background, and there are no secrets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cons:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boundaries can be blurred or contractual agreements misinterpreted by one party.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expectations may not be met by one or both sides.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1><b>Semi-Open Adoptions<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a semi-open adoption, non-identifying information can be exchanged between the birth and adoptive parents. Typically, it is facilitated by a third party. It is a middle-ground option for birth parents who do not want to cut off all communication but are not ready to be in direct contact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pros:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Privacy on both sides is protected.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You continue to hear about your child\u2019s well-being, offering peace of mind.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cons:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact may be lost over time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology makes complete privacy difficult.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1><b>Closed Adoptions<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Closed adoption does not allow any identifying information to be exchanged, the parties do not meet each other, and there is no contact once the adoption is finalized. It is truly an anonymous process. Closed adoptions are becoming less common. Depending on state laws, the birth mother may request more communication should she change her mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pros:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allows for closure and for you to move on with your life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It reduces feelings of doubt stirred up through regular communication.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cons:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The child will not know their background, including medical history.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may experience lingering feelings of curiosity about the child.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giving a child for adoption is an emotional time, regardless of the age of the child, and adoption choices may seem overwhelming.
