| Contact With Birth Parent |
There may or may not be continued communication throughout
the child's upbringing. Any plan for ongoing contact between the child and the birth
family must be based solely on the documented need of the child for a continuing
relationship with the birth family. Adoptive parents who agree to continue this contact
after the adoption is probated, should be aware that this agreement may be considered
binding from a court of competent jurisdiction.
Note: At present, the law does not directly address open adoption but
does speak to the protection of confidentiality in adoption. |
