Episode 118 – Changing Your Mind About Open Adoption




Foster Parenting Podcast show

Summary: You’ve got to keep rolling with the punches and remaining flexible in foster care and adoption. What are the principles to consider when deciding to increase or decrease the level of openness in adoption? We talk through how and why we’ve made some changes in our open adoption. We also discuss a new “character” to the podcast, “Justin”, Andrea and Linda’s birth father, who we’ve recently made contact with. In this episode we discuss The Open Adoption Experience, a book that helped us in our journey; and a program that lets you host foster youth or Colombian orphans in your home, called Kidsave.
