Openness: Short and Sweet,
This review is from: A Letter to Adoptive Parents on Open Adoption (Paperback)
Professionally I work with adoptive couples. This booklet is required reading for them and I also suggest that they share it with family members as well. This booklet provides the back-ground reasons for why we have openness today. It shares how it works, why it works, how it is beneficial to all involve. It doesn't sugar-coat that adoption is still built on loss and grief for all. But in understanding those losses from all points of view, healing can occur and secrecy and shame can be put to rest. This benefits the birth parents and the adoptive parents, but the child most of all. It's 21 pages of dynamite! (I would also share that I'm a birth grandmother with an open placement. We may still be in the "honeymoon" period, but so far it's been wonderful! Like any relationship, I'm sure there will be some ups and downs. Learning to deal openly with the issues will make the relationship all the stronger and more valued.)
