Open Adoption The integrity of raising a child in a fully open adoption makes it the ideal path for us to form our family. Children need a concrete understanding of their birth story and therefore understand as much about themselves as possible. Raising a child in an open adoption creates a situation where everyone comes together in the spirit of love for what is best for a child. We are excited to welcome you into our family, to whatever extent you are comfortable, and to hear about the hopes you have for your child. Your hopes will be our hopes as well.
