The first time I heard about open adoption, I thought it as a cruel joke. I was put through so much, and about to give up so much, and they wanted more! Not only did they want my child, they wanted me. It sounded greedy and despicable. But the AGENCY explained to me why the a-parents wanted it. They gave me plenty of information, and explained how it's meant to be better for the child. I gave in, and gave myself over to open adoption. It's very hard. I've made it seven years, but most open adoptions don't. If this woman has said no already, even if she gives in she may say no again in the future. Then how will your child feel? Not only will they have a perceived rejection, they will have out right rejection! Please don't try to force open adoption on any woman that doesn't want it. There are plenty of women who do, or at least want to try it. Why not give one of them a chance?
