Because of this, I consider our adoption to be semi-open. If you do adopt through the foster care system, you might have this experience too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-70859047373181462882011-04-13T12:19:07.596-07:002011-04-13T12:19:07.596-07:00And I think one OA is a full time gig--and mine is...And I think one OA is a full time gig--and mine is bi-coastal--so I have nothing to compare.

If anything, these children need continued connections to their families EVEN MORE because they were in their care for critical attachment forming years. Even if they were removed as infants, they still need and deserve to know their biological families. <br /><br />Thanks for this series of interviews Heather! :)Rachie317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14646338773104987972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-26545267328703934372011-04-12T16:09:40.307-07:002011-04-12T16:09:40.307-07:00"We chose open adoption because adoption, muc..."We chose open adoption because adoption, much like having a biological family, isn't all about us."<br /><br />Thank you for this quote.
