Open Adoption belongs to the young and it is the young who must change it.

Janey, I understand where you are coming from and I hear your frustration. The healing amongst birth mom's is so important. Sharing with birth mom's has been key for me. However, I do believe that
you matter REGARDLESS of the differences in open and closed, the emotions and the pain of relinquishment seem to be quite similar.
JMHO I gotta disagree with ya that only the young can change it. The younger generations need your insight, experience, and guidance. The women of the closed era have so much to offer! History must be taught and understood or we are doomed to repeat.
Love ya Janey!!!
