Open Adoption Question?
I have a question, why would birthparents NOT want to have an open adoption? at least with the open adoption bparents have the right to know what is going on with their child if they choose to?
We are in CT and looking to adopt, and before we adopted our son we felt very threatened and confused about open adoption. Now that we have one adopted child, and are looking for another child to love, we would DEFINITELY want the bparents to have visitation or updates, (whatever the bparents are comfortable with). The fact is, it is the TRUTH. My husband and I realize that our son Griffin's biological Mom and Dad are part of who he is. What can be so wrong with having a child understand that he is loved by not 1, but maybe 2 sets of parents? Each of them playing an important role in who he/she is?
Just wondering what bparents feel about this, since we would like whichever bparents choose us to feel comfortable with us.
Thanks!
Julie and Scott
