Important information to be aware of is in April of 2011 the Commonwealth of PA passed into law Act 101 which allows for an enforceable, voluntary agreement for continuing contact and communication after the adoption finalization. This agreement will be signed and approved by the court and will be legally binding. This contact can include letters, e-mails, photos, videos, telephone calls, text messages and visits. This is available for all adoptions finalized in PA.
For more information about this option please contact Adoptions From The Heart at 1-800-355-5500.
Even thought Open Adoption is not legally binding in many states I would like to note that there are many adoptive families that commit to an open adoption with the birth parent of their child because they believe that is what's in the best interest of the child and they do not need a court order to tell them that. For Birth Parents, it’s just a matter of finding the right family who truly believes in the beauty of Open Adoption.
