This book defines the differences between openness in adoption and open adoption, as well as the benefits of open adoption and how to fully embrace the relationships open adoption creates. As an added bonus, Jim Gritter, the author of The Spirit of Open Adoption, has added two remarkable written pieces. This book is perfect for understanding and explaining the richness of the open adoption experience.
Book Description

About the Author
Brenda Romanchik is the birthmother of a 15-year-old son, Matthew, whom she placed in an open adoption at birth.
She is the author of a number of open adoption books and publications as well as the owner of R-Squared Press, a publishing company dedicated to bringing the public resources for open adoption.
Brenda is a firm believer that for open adoptions to work, those involved need practical information on how to handle the relationships open adoptions create. She also believes that birthparents and adoptive parents need ongoing support.
With this in mind, in 1994, Brenda organized the first Lifegiver's Festival in Traverse City, Michigan with Jim Gritter, the author of The Spirit of Open Adoption. Since that time she has facilitated seven national Lifegiver's Festivals in Higgins Lake, MI, and is taking it "on the road" to other locations all over the country.
She is also involved in organizing The Open Adoption Families Conference, held every even year. She is also a participant in a number of national and regional adoption conferences.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It's a useful booklet.,
By P. Henderson (Amherst, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What is Open Adoption? (Paperback)
This booklet is most useful for passing out to close friends and family who don't understand what Open Adoption is. So a prospective or current adoptive mom might want to get copies for her parents and siblings. A birth mom probably has several relatives and friends who could benefit from this. These guides would be especially useful for an adoption agency to provide to all their prospective birthmothers!! All the "pocket guides" on adoption that I have read so far have been very good! I'm looking forward to Brenda's first full length book (if she decides to write one.)
