Hello! I have a question for all of those with experience. I am simply looking for opinions. I have not done all of my research (and I actually still have plenty of time to do it), but when we have our adopted child, I want to do what's best for him/her. Any ideas and opinions you might have would be greatly appreciated...
What age do you think is a good age to introduce a child of an open adoption to the birth parents and family?
If you believe that it's different for each family's adoption, please let me know some of the queues that an adoptive parent should look for to know that the time is right.
I have heard that too early can be confusing for the child, as well as his/her adopted brothers/sisters and biological brothers and sisters.
I've also seen many stories about where adoptive families vacation in the towns of the birth parents and visit them.
I don't know which will be right for us, but I would be happy to hear opinions and experiences.
Thanks!
Karen
