Birth Parents in Open Adoption: Adoptive Parents Divorce?

This is a poll for Birth Parents in Open Adoption.

I am interested in learning how many birth parents, such as myself, have lived through the divorce of their child's adoptive parents. It's a unique experience that, I feel, those of us who have lived through it, need support.

Have the Adoptive Parents of your child separated or divorced?

I am not a birth parent but I am an adoptee. My adoptive parents separated 5 months after my adoption was finalized -- many many years ago. I also know several adoptive parents who have divorced or separated soon after placement (I am single so no divorce after placement for me).
