Open Adoption

Most of the birth mothers we work with want to receive letters and photographs from the adoptive families to let them know how the baby is doing. Others would rather not have that information.

At Kirsh & Kirsh, we tailor an update arrangement that suits your needs.

All of our clients are happy to provide letters and photographs letting the birth mother know how her child is getting along. If you would like to receive those, we will send them to you through our office. If you'd prefer not to receive them, or if you're not sure, we will have the updates prepared and held in our file for your later request.
