What Is an Open Adoption Agency?
A licensed open adoption agency is a professional organization that walks with you through every part of the adoption process, from creating a plan to helping you maintain contact after placement. What makes these agencies different is their commitment to openness, transparency and ongoing support.
What does an open adoption agency do? Instead of asking you to say goodbye forever, open adoption agencies help you stay in touch with the family you choose. They want you to choose the level of contact that feels right for you. This kind of care means you’re never alone, before or after placement.
Do All Agencies Offer Open Adoption?
No, they don’t. Not every adoption professional truly supports openness.
Some agencies only offer closed or semi-open adoption. Others may only support contact for a short time. And many don’t provide the services you need to feel supported and empowered, like counseling or post-placement mediation.
