Openness
Feelings Regarding Openness:
We are willing to discuss the different options for openness with the birth mother.
Participate in Prenatal Appointments:
Open to the possibilities of participation in the prenatal appointments if possible but not a must as we respect privacy of these appointments as well.
Participate in Labor and Delivery:
Jena is more interested in this possibility as she worked previously as a labor and delivery nurse knowing the importance of this process. Although we also continue to respect privacy and modesty as the labor and delivery process is very open and non-discrete so this is not a must and can be left up to the birth mother.
