Maintaining Connection Post Adoption

Many placing parents are drawn to Snowflakes because we follow an open adoption model. What does open adoption mean, exactly? Why is it important?

The most important focus of open adoption is the children - your children and the children who will be born into the adopting family. Open adoption allows you to know if a child who is the full genetic sibling to your children has been born and to whom!

Open adoption allows you to establish a mutually agreed upon level of communication with the adopting family for the future.

This Communication May Be:

Direct, whether somewhat anonymously or by eventually fully sharing identifying information
Facilitated by a third party
Via mail or email (directly or anonymously)
Via private websites or social media accounts

Open adoption helps the child to have access to their story without shrouding it in secrecy. We have many educational resources on the subject of open adoption and the benefits to you, the child(ren), and the adopting family.
