Private Adoption
Hi,
I am an adoptive mom who completed a private adoption almost 8 years ago. We met the birthfamily through a friend at church. She chose us 2 days before our son was born. I would have liked to meet sooner but that is how God planned it this time. We hired a lawyer and he did all the work. We went to court when our son was 10 days old and they terminated the birthmothers rights and 9 months later he was ours.
We have an open relationship with his birthfamily but at this time they have chosen not to have visits. They only want pictures and letters. The first 2 years of his life we had it all visits, phone calls, letters, pictures. They said that was just too hard for them and chose to stop the visits and phone calls. That was their choice not ours. We would love to have more openness with them but we honor their wishes. I pray for his birthfamily every day and we thank God for giving this precious life to us to love.
We are hoping to adopt again in the near future and would love to have another private adoption and a more open relationship with his/her birthfamily.
Hope that helps,
