| Abstract: | Open adoption is a relatively new and controversial practice. However, in many cultures this practice is traditional. In this first of a series of articles, the affect of open adoption upon birthparents is discussed. The open process facilitates appropriate grieving, enables decision making and furthers the growth of the birthmother. |
