A Moving Story about Open Adoption

March 20th, 2007 by janet

When you come from a closed adoption system and experience the many battles and yearnings to discover your roots, open adoptions seems to be a much easier and fairer road to travel for all concerned.

But any adoption, whether it is from a closed or open system, has its challenges. I came across an incredibly moving story from an adoptive parent, Dawn Friedman, about the emotions involved when she adopted her daughter, Madison, in an open adoption system. Dawn writes honestly and freely about her own grief and guilt in “taking” her daughter from her birth mother.

It is thought provoking and refreshing to read. ‘Open Adoption, Broken Heart’ can be viewed here

It speaks for itself.
