We seek to have an open adoption, because we believe the birthparents are important people in the life of their child. We hope that there will always be a place for them in our family. My aunt is adopted, but at that time, children rarely connected with their birthparents until they were adults or had shown curiosity towards the situation. Because the "science" behind adoption has evolved from being closed to being more open, we are fascinated with learning more about the advantages and benefits of this relationship.
We are fully on board with sharing this life with the birthparents, and feel that the benefits identified in this online article match our feelings and commitment to making this happen.

We also wanted to let you know that we have a profile on www.adoption.com. You can find this at https://adoption.com/profiles/chrisandcassieholt.
Last of all, who wouldn't want to have an open adoption relationship with these two? Right?!
