“We should not ask who owns this child, but who belongs to this child. » (Gritter; image) Open adoption is a form of adoption that allows birth parents to maintain contact with the adoptive family in various forms: from simply sending letters and/or photos to face-to-face visits between biological and adoptive families. Adoptive parents hold all rights as biological parents. Even if the parents abandon the child doesn't mean they don't care, it could mean they can't afford to have a baby and instead of abortion they choose adoption. Sometimes parents still want to care for and see their child, which is why they choose open adoption. It allows biological parents to remain in contact with the adoptive parents and the child throughout their lives. In an open adoption, the child will know that they have not been abandoned and are being cared for more than they would have been. You should choose open adoption because if the parents couldn't afford to have a baby they put the baby up for adoption which gave them the child a better life but I still want to be a part of it. Not only may this be the case, but the reason the child was abandoned could be for many other reasons. For example, while researching adoption, I met a mother who had been raped and sent away by her family so she couldn't "shame" them. She was placed in a home for a time and once released, they were known as "born again virgins." Furthermore, he was advised not to tell anyone what had happened to him during his stay. Many years later, she understood why she had kept her son a secret for 22 years. The reason for her shame was that she had been raped because she had something valuable taken from her without her consent and because she could do nothing. She wasn't happy...... middle of paper...... rents on your side from the beginning? When we knew what was happening, having two sets of parents. Or do you prefer not to keep any trace of your biological parents? This means you won't know anything about your history. So you can see that even if you abandon the child, it doesn't mean you don't love him, it shows that you want to give your baby a better life since you weren't. able to give them that. Instead of abortion, you put him up for adoption but you still wanted to be a part of your baby's life. You should therefore choose open adoption for two main reasons. First, because you loved your child so much that you wanted to give them a better life and wanted to be there for them. But more importantly, when adoptive parents and birth parents stay in touch, the child will see that he or she has not been abandoned and will feel loved instead of feeling worthless..
