  • Who's Afraid of Open Adoption?-

    I've cross-posted this relevant post from my blog:

    There is a question that has been nagging at me for a little while. I know that many potential adoptive parents have concerns about openness in adoption. Yet in my narrow experience, as a black woman, I've seen that black potential adoptive parents seem to be even more leery of open adoption than majority parents. I wondered why that was. Could there be something cultural that made us want/need to have closed adoption?
