My cousin and his girlfriend want my husband and I to adopt their baby when it is born next year, and they want an open adoption. What kind of paperwork goes into an open adoption? Is it basically the same as a closed adoption? What kind of rights do the birth parents keep with an open adoption? My husband’s and my biggest concern is if they will have the ability to take back the baby if they change their mind.
I was adopted in the state of California and it was a sealed adoption, however I am now 40 yrs old with 3 boys of my own and would love to be able to answer some of the questions about our heritage. If anyone can help please don’t hesitate.
Since it isn’t enforceable and really isn’t protected by any laws, I think that they need to take “open” adoption out of the equation. No woman should be under the impression that she has some type of legal recourse.
I am thinking that they need to tell all women adoptions are closed and that’s it. What are your thoughts?
I’m looking for an adoption agency that is open to adoptive parents that are totally open about their vegan diet. Are you a vegan looking to adopt? Are you a vegan who has successfully adopted? I’d like to hear from you! Thanks.
My grandmother would like to find her nephew who was placed for adoption as an infant. His birthmother has passed away, and it was her last wish that the family find him. His biological siblings have no interest in finding him, but the rest of the family would love to find him!
My boyfriends ex-girlfriend is planning on signing her rights away to her sister. If he signs his rights away, can he still see her in an open adoption. I don’t know how the legal system works in this case. He would take full custody but works all day.
I am interested in opening a dog adoption agency, sanctuary/rescue. What would be my first steps in doing this? What kind of education should I have to make sure it is successful? If you have an experience in this field please fill me in on what steps you took to achieve this, and what things you would have done differently ect. Thanks.
We’re going through adoption now and it seems like open adoption isn’t for us. It seems so invasive to let the birthparents have constant contact with your baby/child. Also, I think that a child can become confused when the birthparents are around. But of course we honor them, they are very special people.
