Birth family members are an integral part of an adoption! To us, that includes birth mothers, birth fathers, birth siblings, aunts, uncles and grandparents. We know an adoption impacts every person differently, and we are here to support you. Your wellbeing is important to us as you navigate post-adoption relationships.

We believe that maintaining contact between adoptive and birth families is in the adoptee’s best interest. However, we understand that there are times when families are unable to communicate with each other directly, at which point Amara may serve as a liaison. If you need support corresponding, please reach out.

The Open Adoption Agreement is a legal document that outlines communication between birth parents and adoptive parents. This document is entered into the courts during the adoption finalization and is typically created immediately following the termination of the biological parents’ rights. If you would like support navigating your agreement, contact us.
You may desire to have a connection with a family member who has been adopted. Did you know that birthparents as well as biological siblings, aunts, uncles, and/or grandparents may have the right to gain information?
