Adoption: Are you for or against OPEN adoption? And why?

Answer 1

against, because the new parents are not babysitters. they are parents and shouldn't have birth parents possibly undermining it. the Internet is a wonderful thing. if the birth parent wants to be informed the adoptive could maintain a baby journal on line with pictures and blogs of major milestones and the birth parent could watch the child grow without being involved in its life.

Answer 2

This is speaking from personal expierience

When my sis was 18 she had a baby boy. The father wanted nothing to do with him, so my sister decided to give him up for adoption (this was before the baby was born) She knew she wanted an open adoption, be able to be a part of his life. Of course the adoptive family was worried about this, as they wanted to make this childs life as non complicated as possible. They decided to work out an agreement. There was an open adoption, and my sister could not visit Jordan or have ANY contact with him until he is 18. However, she can have contact with the adoptive parents. Nearly 3 years later now and everything is going great!! We get monthly pictures of him and my sister has become friends with the adoptive parents.

I truly believe open adoptions work if both parties make the right agreements and stick to them. I know in some cases a closed adoption is better, like if the mother was very very unfit to have any contact with the child. Stalking and kidnapping can always become a very serious issue when it comes to adoption. So, yes i am definetley for open adoption!!

Answer 3

I am for open adoption.

It gives the child the stability and support from both birth and adopted parents.

I think the movie is called "Sixteen" where a girl became pregnant. The "father" was in and out of the picture. She decided to keep the baby once delievery because she couldn't give up her son.

She kept the baby at home for a few months realizing single parenthood at 16, high school and only support is her mom isn't going to work.

She did open adoption to a coach at the high school who him and his wife had a few disappointing let downs to other families.

She got to watch her son grow up and he knew from the begin.

Open adoption isn't like the birth parent is "allowed" to under estimated and tell how the adopted to raise the child.

Open is just another way for the mother and child to not loose touch as closed adoptions are. Able to be a part at least a little bit.

Giving up a child is hard and open adoption opens up the doors to know their child is alright and taken care of.

I had a friend who's mother gave her up and it was a open adoption. She loved it and was happy that she wasn't given a closed adoption.

Answer 4

i am for adopting but not giving up for adoption. the reason being is that it is not the childs fault they had bad parents and they didnt get taken care of the way all children should be. all kids deserve a good life growing up and they should always have some kind of parent and not be in an adoption service until they are 18.

Answer 5

I am a birth mother. I placed my daughter 12 years ago. I did an open adoption and I found it very healthy for me. I was able to hand pick out the parents for my child. I was also able choose the level of contact that I wanted. I did end physcial contact with them after 1 year, but I do keep in touch through cards and letter. I am all for open adoption.

Answer 6

I could never do an open adoption but for some people it really works. I just wouldn't feel comfortable having a stranger (to me) involved in my child's life. I understand it is a blood relative to the child and I wouldn't have the baby w/o her but it just really wouldn't work for me. I want to be the only mommy.

Answer 7

One false impression is that establishing archives will bring about touch. of direction, open archives is distinctive than contacting beginning mum and dad. archives ought to do with having access to records that are ours. certainly, preserving them closed, rather than combating beginning mothers from undesirable touch, forces adoptees to seek for beginning mothers to be sure the concepts contained in those archives. however the argument to "defend" the privateness of beginning mothers is particularly hardship-unfastened, it rather seems to be a distraction, considering's legal to seek for beginning mothers. certainly, there look no good rationalization for preserving those archives sealed. beginning mothers weren't in any respect assured confidentiality that some declare. Abortions do not seem to upward thrust whilst archives are open. and there is not a rash of stalking or different undesirable behaviors whilst archives are open. And, maximum heavily, not one of the justifications presented for preserving the archives closed clarify why adoptees ought to be denied their rights to get admission to those archives. All of which leads me to ask your self what the actual motives are? some human beings might desire to have faith particularly some the undesirable motives presented. yet whilst that's the only factor combating the archives from being opened, the sparkling arguments against those motives ought to have delivered approximately the archives being opened with the aid of now. i don't know that i've got faith any of the conspiracy theories. yet there is truthfully some thing unusual right here.
