Birth Family Contact

Birth Family Contact refers to ongoing communication or interaction between an individual placed for adoption and their birth family members, such as parents, siblings, or other relatives. This contact can vary from letters and photos to in-person meetings, depending on agreements and comfort levels. It aims to provide additional connections and information for the adoptee, fostering understanding of their origins while respecting boundaries and privacy. The nature of contact is typically guided by the adoptee's wishes, legal considerations, and the agreements made during the adoption process.
