Open adoption creates beautiful extended families

Modern adoption agencies empower pregnant women and fathers by giving them greater control over every aspect of the adoption process, including important decisions that affect their child’s future. Closed adoption is less common today, and open adoption has become the norm. Our Florida open adoption agency has the interests of you and your baby at heart, as that is the starting place for a lifetime of love and security for your child.

The benefits of open adoption

Studies have shown that children placed through open adoption grow up to be well-adjusted adults with a strong sense of self-esteem and confidence. The beauty of this option is that your child will always know where they came from and how much they are loved – not only by their adoptive parents, but also by you. They will never have to research their birth stories, search for their first parents, or wonder why they were placed for adoption.

This type of adoption arrangement also protects the child’s health, as the adoptive family will be able to learn about the child’s family medical history and get other important information to better support the child as they grow up.

There are also many benefits for the mothers and fathers who choose this adoption for their babies. Many tell us that they have immense peace of mind knowing that they will be able to stay in contact with their child’s family as they are growing up.

Open adoption isn’t a “goodbye.” Instead, it is the start of a different and beautiful kind of relationship with your child. You will be able to witness for yourself that your selfless choice was the right one for your child, and you’ll never have to wonder or worry about whether they are loved and thriving.

How modern adoption agencies work

When learning about modern adoption agencies, many pregnant women are surprised to learn that they will have a great deal of control over every aspect of the process.

If you choose to place your baby for adoption through Legacy Adoption Services, you can trust that we have many waiting families who would be overjoyed to welcome your child. You will be able to review their profiles and get to know them, and we will help you find a perfect match.

You will also be able to make a personalized adoption plan that details your expectations for every part of the process. For example, you can choose what you want your birth experience to be like, including who will be present in the room with you, how much time you want to have with your baby, whether you would like photos, and any other details that are important to you.

You will also be able to customize your adoption agreement to include your wishes for contact you want to have with your child and their adoptive family. Some mothers who choose open adoption want regular updates from the adoptive family, such as letters or pictures. Some would like more personal contact, such as communicating with the adoptive family by text, video calls or phone calls. It’s also possible to request the opportunity to visit with your child in person or to send gifts on special occasions, such as birthdays.
