[quote=Anonymous]I am originally from DC, but live on the West Coast now... It seems that open adoptions are all the rage. And I just don't think that it would work for my family. I truly don't think I want the birth mother involved in my child's life forever and ever. Should they meet at some point? Sure and the fact of adoption won't be kept a mystery. But I certainly can't imagine that person joining our lives the way these agencies seem to indicate is "equally satisfying". I don't know if background matters, but we are a mixed (african american & white), heterosexual family without any religious affiliation. We have one young child, but fertility treatments have failed to help me bring another to term. Not open to foster-to-adopt at this time, though I have two friends who have done this and it is AMAZING how their families have come together. Any recommendations for solid agencies? [/quote]
