Open and Closed Adoption

Choosing adoption for your baby doesn’t have to be “goodbye” forever. Instead, you can have a lifelong relationship — even after you’ve placed them for adoption. This is possible because of open adoption.

When you’re the prospective birth mother, you get to choose the level of openness you want. This can range from totally open — including in-person visits — to a closed adoption, where you take the space you need and go your separate ways.

These articles have all the open and closed adoption information you need to make the best choice.
