[quote=Anonymous]Two of my siblings are through an open adoption. The BM has substance abuse issues and went long periods of time without contact when she was using or homeless. One struggled more with the BM's erratic behavior than the other. Both are very anti-drug, though. Not even teenage experimentation. My father was informally adopted but returned to his birth mother at age 9 after the man who raised him died. She was a complete stranger to him. They never bonded. I wonder if he would have felt differently if he'd known her from a young age. I think this is why he agreed to an open adoption.[/quote]
