Open Adoption for Teen Pregnancy
For many young birth mothers, being able to have an open adoption has helped them heal. The amount of contact you have with your baby and baby’s chosen family is just as unique as any of your other relationships. Most teen birth mothers agree that seeing their child growing and thriving has helped to reaffirm that they made the right decision.
You will be able to choose if you want to maintain an open relationship, semi-open contact, or a closed adoption. While we advocate for some level of openness, you have the right, even as a teenager, to make your own choices. Understand too that the type of adoption you choose can change over time. An open adoption might close and a closed adoption might open. Each adoption connection is different, unique, fluid.
