Can you answer ???now what???’s question about Adoption?:

Since it isn’t enforceable and really isn’t protected by any laws, I think that they need to take “open” adoption out of the equation. No woman should be under the impression that she has some type of legal recourse.

I am thinking that they need to tell all women adoptions are closed and that’s it. What are your thoughts?

Can you answer H******’s question about Adoption?:

I’ve never once seen that on an adoption agency website.

I’ve seen plenty about how an open adoption is possible and lots of promises of various levels of contact; but I’ve never seen anything that lets the mother know that she doesn’t have a leg to stand on if the door is slammed in her face

Are agencies being misleading in this regard?
