Adoption Under One Roof

I admit that I do not do my semi-annual updates to the agency right on time for our domestic closed adoption. Because our adoption is closed at the birthmother’s request, I know that the photos and letters will just be placed into a drawer with all the others. Semi-annual updates until our daughter’s fifth birthday are a requirement of our agency, not our birthmother. The domestic agency requires these updates with every adoption, whether open or closed. They keep them just in case a birthmother changes her mind and requests to see the updates.
