Many people believe that the adoption of a child shouldn’t end a parent’s relationship with the child. Instead, it should create an additional relationship with the child’s adoptive family. They believe that a continuing relationship between the child and their birth parents and other birth family members can help the child develop a healthy sense of identity and belonging. The Post-Adoption Openness Registry is meant for birth parents, adoptive parents, and relatives of an adopted child under the age of 19 who want to communicate with each other after the child has been adopted, if no openness agreement was made before the adoption order. There are no fees to register. | Many people believe that the adoption of a child shouldn’t end a parent’s relationship with the child.
