Openness
Feelings Regarding Openness:
We are comfortable with a completely open adoption, but understand this may not be the best option for all birth mothers. We will respect and honor whatever decision she makes.

Would love to if birth mother is comfortable with that!
Participate in Labor and Delivery:
Amanda would love to if birth mother is comfortable with that, Jason is perfectly fine staying in the waiting room!
Frequency of In-Person Meetings:
At least once yearly, more if possible depending on distance.
Other:
We are willing to have whatever type of adoption the birth mother prefers. If she wants open, we’ll send as many updates as she’d like and schedule visits. If she only wants pictures/letters, we’re fine with that too. If she wants closed, we’ll respect her wishes.
