You can choose an adoptive family using many different ways. In an open adoption you can choose the adoptive parents usually by adoptive parent photos, hobbies, interests, lifestyles, religious beliefs, family background, by reading the adoptive parents' "Dear Birthmother" letter and even meeting with them sometimes.
What is an "open adoption"?
Usually open adoption begins with the birthmother reviewing adoptive parent photos and profiles. The birth parents decide what type of lifestyle they would like for their baby to be raised with. Hobbies, religious beliefs, family background... All of these can be considered.
After giving birth, can I hold my baby? Yes!
Discuss the amount of contact after birth that you would like to have with your baby with your adoption coordinator. She will help you with all of your choices.
