Prior to 1990, fewer than five percent of domestic infant adoptions
were open. In 2012, ninety percent or more of adoption agencies are
recommending open adoption. Yet these agencies do not often or
adequately prepare either adopting parents or birth parents for the
road ahead of them! The adult parties in open adoptions are left
floundering. There are many resources on why to do open adoption,
but what about how? Open adoption isn't just something parents do
when they exchange photos, send emails, share a visit. It's a
lifestyle that may feel intrusive at times, be difficult or
inconvenient at other times. Tensions can arise even in the best of
circumstances. But knowing how to handle these situations and how
to continue to make arrangements work for the child involved is
paramount. This book offers readers the tools and the insight to do
just that. It covers common open-adoption situations and how real
families have navigated typical issues successfully. Like all
useful parenting books, it provides parents with the tools to come
to answers on their own, and answers questions that might not yet
have come up. Through their own stories and those of other families
of open adoption, Lori and Crystal review the secrets to success,
the pitfalls and challenges, the joys and triumphs. By putting the
adopted child at the center, families can come to enjoy the
benefits of open adoption and mitigate the challenges that may
arise. More than a how-to, this book shares a mindset, a heartset,
that can be learned and internalized, so parents can choose to act
out of love and honesty throughout their child's growing up years,
helping that child to grow up whole.
