Creating a Family: Talk about Adoption, Foster & Kinship Care I Really Don't Want an Open Adoption! - Weekend Wisdom
Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.
Question: We have applied to adopt a baby. We’re more or less being told that if we don’t agree to an open adoption, we’ll never get chosen by a birth mom. But, I really don’t want an open adoption. I think kids need just one mom and dad and opening up our family to others will just be confusing for everyone. But, I’m afraid that we’ll never get chosen if I say this.
