Connections - Openness in Adoption

Connections - Openness in Adoption is proudly presented to you by CEQ Catholic Charities USA. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.

An open adoption is a form of adoption in which the biological and adoptive families have access to varying degrees of each other’s personal information and it usually benefits all members of the adoption triad. Openness can vary greatly from family to family and may change over time. It has grown over the years due to the evolution of social media and adoption agencies providing education to all members of the triad. Experts will discuss ways to navigate the open adoption system and explore how adoption policy has evolved and its effects on the members of the adoption triad.
