What does open adoption mean for adoptive families?
Open adoption means raising your adopted child with honesty. It also means sharing that their birth family loved them enough to choose life and choose adoption for them. It means knowing your child’s birth family medical history when available, a very valuable asset in an adoption. And it means being proud adoptive parents. Treasuring your baby or child knowing you have been chosen to parent this little one for a lifetime.
Open adoption gives comfort to both birth parents and adoptive families in so many ways. For the child, the end result of an open adoption is that there are more people in their life to love them. Love is something we can never have too much of.

What is Open Adoption ?
Years ago, most adoptions were more “closed” and handled quietly. They were commonly kept secret. Today, adoption looks very different. Open adoption is built on trust, respect and honest relationships between birth parents and adoptive parents. And the blessings of open adoptions are shared with and benefit the children from their earliest days. They grow up knowing their story and how they are loved by both adoptive and birth parents.
Choices
If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, adoption gives you real, meaningful choices. You can select your child’s adoptive parents, meet them in person if you want, and decide what type of openness and level of future contact feels right for you. You’re in control of your adoption plan.
Birth Families
Other birth family members are also choosing to be involved in the adoption plan process. Grandparents, especially the parents of the birth mother, often play an active role. Birth fathers are welcome to be as involved, sometimes helping to choose the adoptive parents and supporting the overall adoption plan. While only about 25% of birth fathers currently participate in adoption planning, that number is steadily rising as more families choose open adoption.
If you have questions or simply want to talk or text about your choices, we are here for you. Call our adoption answer line anytime to speak to one of our adoption coordinators. That line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you’ll always be able to have your adoption questions answered by a real person.

Questions and Answers
(We protect the privacy of our Birth Parents and do not share their names)
We are so happy for this family, they are the SWEETEST!!! They have been through some really bad fall-throughs. This was a drop in the lap (1-week old) baby girl. In their same state, only 2 hours away. With the attorney they already had from a previous fall-through, no other legal fees had to be paid this time. The adoptive family also decided to keep the name the birth mom gave her baby….”Miah”
Here are a few nice messages from both adoptive family and birth mom.
From adoptive mom:
“We are just finishing up with the signing and are headed back home. Everything went perfectly! We are so overjoyed 💓Thank you so much for everything we appreciate you and the staff at lifetime!”
“Absolutely it’s couldn’t have been more perfect! It all was more than worth it…we are so grateful!”
From birth mom:
“Everything was great ! I really am satisfied with my choice of parents for my daughter. I know they are gonna love her and take great care of her.”
“I’m so thankful & glad. Thank you for your help throughout this process.”
