What Research Really Says About Open Adoption

from Let's Talk Adoption Hosted by Let's Talk Adoption

At a recent conference, someone asked: "Are there actual studies that prove open adoption is good for children?" In this episode of Let’s Talk Adoption, Heather and Kim dive into the research and share findings from decades of studies on open adoption. We’ll explore what the evidence shows about benefits for adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth parents — and also talk honestly about the challenges and situations where openness may not be possible or wise. If you’ve ever wondered whether open adoption is just a trend or a well-supported practice, this episode brings clarity and balance straight from the research.
