An Ongoing Communication Agreement is designed to outline the mutual agreements of the birth parents and the adoptive family about their communication after placement. It is expected that birth families and adoptive families will follow the Agreement. The contents of the Agreement will be discussed with the birth parents and the adoptive family prior to placement, including frequency of photos, updates, visits, etc. It will be initiated by both the birth parent(s) and the adoptive parent(s). The child’s best interest will be of the utmost importance when considering the agreement.
Depending on the birthparent(s) wishes, the adoptive parents can maintain a private online photo album account, where they will post photos of the child in an ongoing fashion, so that the birthparent(s) can view photos, videos, and updates, as they wish. Of course, direct texting, calling, or emailing is always an option in open adoptions, as well.
