I'm considering adoption for my child because i am not financially responsible an in college! plus the father of this child is not talking to me an is back with his ex girlfriend! so i was put in a spot where i had no choice but to give my child to more responsible, an loving hands, i chose to have a open adoption, the child has a right to know who i am an has a right to know who its father is as well! it helps reassure that the child has a background for medical an ethnical questions! it also helps the child understand the type of family it has . An that the selfless act i pursued by giving an infertile couple a baby the longed for an a better life for my child! yet i do not plan to interviene many times in the child's life i wish to let the child grow an live by the rules an teachings an values of its adoptive parents , an to let the child know that i am still out there if he/or she ever needs me for any reason in his/or her lifetime!
I have adopted children and I think open adoption is better for the child because they don't have to go through all of the emotional trauma that children in closed adoptions have to go through. If they have a question about the biological family, they can call or write and ask. In our situation, they also know they weren't stolen or something because the birth mom and I have both told them that this was the best thing for them. They also know they weren't "given away" because they were bad or unloved. I guess, in a nutshell, a child can never have too many people who love them.
An open and closed infant adoption varies greatly. An open infant adoption allows the genetic parents to still have the right to see their child. A closed infant adoption prevents the genetic parents from seeing their child.
In an open adoption the birth parent(s) are allowed to visit and contact the child. The child may not know them as mom or dad but rather as aunt uncle or cousin. In a closed adoption the birth parents have no contact with the child what so ever. Also, in a closed adoption, the adoptive parents have the right not to tell the child they are adopted if that makes life easier. I was adopted in a closed adoption.
Open adoption is when the biological mother/father, and their child are still allowed to meet and see eachother, even after the adoption process is complete. Closed adoption is when the biological mother/father of the baby can see their child for a year after the adoption. They can send pictures, letters, etc. After the one year, they have no contact with them, until the child is 18.
There are many types of adoption including international and local. There is also Open and private adoptions. An Open adoption is when the biological parent(s) are allowed visitation with the child. A private adoption is like when a child is turned over into the chosen adopted family right after birth and the biological parent(s) have no contact with the child.
The only thing they have in common is that you are not raising your child. As for the adoption procedure it is the same. And as soon as the adoption is legal and through the adoptive parents can close it if they want to.
the pros of open adoption, you will be able to see your child and keep in touch with your child, the cons it may hurt not to be with your child, maybe you will have feeling of jealousy or regret.
Legal and lawful adoption is a process that ends in the final and irrevocable transference of all rights and responsibilities for a child from the biological parents to the adoptive parents. Open adoption is an agreement between adoptive parents and biological parents that addresses continuing contact between biological parents and the adopted child. This can take many forms, from regular letters to frequent visits. Open adoption does not alter the legality of the adoption, the finality and irrevocability, in any way.
open adoption - adopción abierta
Most teen mothers put their child up for adoption because it may be the best thing for the baby..... she might not be able to take care of the child the right way.......... and most have school to go to........ i would think that most go for an open adoption so that they can contact the child
Any parent looking to adopt should check with their city/state about kids up for adoption. Contact a local adoption agency to find out who is up for adoption. Make sure you know if you want to have an open or closed adoption (open is the birth parents can contact the child closed is they can not) and be prepared for adoption to be set up and then fall though (the birth mother/father stop the adoption process).
an adoption agency
Only if you have open adoption and this is decided between you and the parents. Legally you no longer have any rights to the child. When the child is adult you can try contacting her/him to see if they are interested but as long as he/she is a minor you can not contact them. It would be breaking the adoption agreement you signed.
