Brandy--good point. Open adoption HAS been around longer than 20 years... it's just that, after closed took over, it was a while for it to start coming back in full force....
Although there were those orphan trains in the early part of the 1900's.... kids went off and never saw their parents again... has anyone seen the video on that? It's pretty touching. It was made a long time ago, but they interviewed some of the people (all older adults at the time the documentary was made) who'd been on the trains... and they were just really, really affected by never seeing their parents again. All those years later, and they'd still get choked up about it.
