contact post-adoption

Contact post-adoption refers to ongoing interactions or communication between adoptive families and birth families after the adoption is finalized. This arrangement can vary from regular visits, phone calls, or letters to more limited contact, depending on the agreed-upon plan. The purpose is to support the emotional well-being of everyone involved, respect their wishes, and provide ongoing connections if desired. These arrangements are typically established based on the preferences and best interests of the child and all parties, and they can evolve over time as circumstances or feelings change.
