An Open Adoption, is an adoption where all parties to the adoption (Birth Mother/Parents and Adoptive Parents) know the identities of the other members. Usually, they will have had an opportunity to meet, and in some cases form a relationship. In an Open Adoption, Birth Mother and Adoptive Parents will make an agreement, with the help of the Agency and/or Adoption Attorney, specifying what contact will take place between the child and the Birth Parents after the adoption is finalized.
