When I was a baby, I was removed from my biological mother’s care and placed into a foster home. That foster home placement was short-lived and I was relocated to another foster home until I was about 4-and-a-half. My biological mother didn’t want to relinquish her rights, and refused to attend many of the court proceedings. My adoptive parents were both in human services and were really interested in trying an open adoption, as they felt this would be the least disruptive to my emotional well-being. With the possibility of open adoption, my bio-mom finally (grudgingly) agreed to sign the paperwork. My adoption was finalized just after my 5th birthday.
