Raising Adopted Children

The openness of adoption is ultimately the birth family’s decision and we would support that decision whatever it may be. We do support and encourage open adoption. On behalf of birth families we see adoption as a loving, sacred, and selfless process that should be not only acknowledged but celebrated. We feel that our children should always know of the love and sacrifice of their birth families and know that their legacy is sacred and special. For birth families open adoption allows an opportunity to stay in contact with their child and have the assurance that they are being raised in the manner in which they hoped for. A birth family will always be special and irreplaceable to an adopted child, and we would hope to be able to welcome them into our family and  foster that special relationship.
