In recent years there has been a growing trend towards increased
communication among members of the adoption triad. Although many
adoption agencies are moving towards increased information sharing,
there is little research evidence available concerning the
consequences of this practice. This unique study investigates the
consequences of openness in adoption, as practiced by several
adoption agencies. Seventeen adoptive families and their
corresponding birthparents were interviewed. The effects of the
open adoption procedures on family life and attitudes were
assessed. Included are a review of the literature on openness in
adoption; a review of relevant theoretical perspectives; a
discussion of agency practices; and a description of strengths and
weaknesses of current research methods.
