[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do a lot of research about (domestic) open adoptions. Realize the life-long implications of having the birth parent(s) and their extended families involved in your child's life, and if that is something you are willing to take on. [/quote] We only want to do closed adoption. Is it only possibly trough international adoption?[/quote] Why do you only want to do closed adoption? Children who are actual orphans are…almost nonexistent. Except in the most extreme cases of abuse, it is horrific to sever the natural bonds of family completely, not just from natural parents, but from extended family/kin/clan. If you are not prepared to accept that you are family to a child who already has a family, you should not be adopting.[/quote] +1. It’s crucial for people who adopt to understand this. [/quote]
