Hi. DH and I have been considering the possibility of adopting. We have looked at out LA information and one point stressed is that adoptive parents are often required to facilitate regular contact between the child and their birth parent. This really shocked me. Does it tie in with anyone else's experience of adoption? And why do it? Had always understood that adoption implies that the child's relationship with their BP has irrevocably broken down. That being the case, how can it be helpful for the child to maintain regular contact?
