I have 3 children that we adopted domestically and we have an open adoption with all three children's family. Our stories might be more of an openness than most have. We are blessed beyond measure at their continued love for us and our children. I have always had the thought that if God has made these children for us, than nothing will thwart His plan. So we (my husband and I) have never been afraid of them changing their mind. I must admit there have been times that we have had to sit and talk with some of the family members regarding the differences of standards between our family and theirs. But they have always been gracious to understand our values and the way we are raising the kids. My daughters birth grandparents are the dream grandparents! I cannot say enough good things about them. They have always loved all three of my kids as their own, no partiality. They are precious people. And we have a some of our birth families that once they get married and start their own family, their visits and letters come far less often. We are blessed! I love how adoption paints a beautiful picture of the Gospel. I just found your website and was scrolling down the page when I read this article regarding the course you offered on open adoption.
