Our first open adoption gave us our wonderful son, Rogan, now four years old, and relationships with his Birthparents that have enriched all our lives.  We travel to their city several times each year for visits, and they have come up to spend time “on the farm” with us.  We have enjoyed watching these two interesting young people grow, and as they have grown, so has Rogan.  That he has grown up knowing his Birthparents - never questioning who he is or where he came from - has helped to make him a terrifically confident and secure child.  As “veteran” adoptive parents, we hope that our knowledge and confidence about the open adoption process will be reassuring as you face the all-important decision about the people who will parent your child.
