Description: "Since 1982, the Independent Adoption Center has successfully placed over 4,000 newborns with families across the United States. Each family that is created through open adoption has its' own unique story. Preparation time, wait time, the length of the match between adoptive and birthparents, the hospital experience, and ongoing contact between the birth and adoptive families are different for everyone. In an effort to educate the general population and prospective birth and adoptive parents, we have compiled True stories of open adoption from past clients and staff members who agreed to share their stories of how their families came to be. The reader will be touched by these moving stories while learning about the depth of these distinctive relationships."--Page 4 of cover.
