Open Adoption
At DeColores Adoptions, we believe in the power of open adoption to create lasting, meaningful connections between birth families, adoptive families, and children. Open adoption fosters transparency, trust, and ongoing relationships that benefit everyone involved.
What Is Open Adoption?
Open adoption is a collaborative approach where birth parents and adoptive families agree to maintain some form of contact after the adoption is finalized. This can range from exchanging letters and photos to regular visits, depending on the comfort levels and agreements of all parties involved. The primary goal is to serve the best interests of the child by preserving connections to their biological heritage and identity.
Benefits of Open Adoption

For Adoptive Families

For the Child
