Other Birthfamily
Other birthfamily members may know about an adoption from the planning stages or may learn of it after the fact. Some participate in the decision-making process, others do not. As the silence has been lifted from discussions about adoption, and the stigma once associated with unplanned pregnancy, single parenting, and adoption has dissipated, birthfamily members often play a part in open adoptions and for those who do not, search may be of interest. In either case, birthfamily members' voices are among those being heard.
