Open adoption offers biological parents the opportunity to maintain a relationship with their child and the adoptive family, fostering a sense of connection and transparency. This arrangement can provide peace of mind, as biological parents can stay informed about their child’s well-being and development, knowing they are in a loving environment. This ongoing relationship can help alleviate feelings of loss and promote healing, creating a supportive network for everyone involved.

For some, closed adoption has proven to be a good option because it provides a sense of privacy during the adoption process and the ability to make a decision that prioritizes the child’s well-being, ensuring they are placed in a loving and stable environment without the complexities of future contact. This can be particularly beneficial for those who feel overwhelmed by the potential of ongoing contact and want to create a clear plan that helps them move forward, knowing their child is well taken care of.
