ADOPTIONS
OPEN ADOPTION
An open adoption is one
that allows for contact between birth parent(s)
and a child after the adoption. Or it may allow
for information about the child to be shared with
birth parents as the child matures. Sometimes
there is a formal written communication agreement
that sets out the type and frequency of the
contact. This communication agreement is
enforceable under Washington law, but
non-compliance of the contract agreement is not a
reason to overturn the adoption.
