Hi!
Though I haven't been around much, some of you may remember that we have a 2.5 year old girl that we are working on adopting through foster care. DH and I have been discussing open adoption (with VERY specific parameters). I mentioned it to the Social Worker, yesterday, and it was like a weight lifted off her. She said that if we are willing to go that route, it could be HUGE for the case and significantly shorten the time it takes to resolve it, so we can move forward as an official family.
My question is, have any of you had an open adoption? If so, how has it worked out? Do you have any advice for negotiating one?
Thanks!!!
