Open Adoption

Kristen&Brian adopted baby boy Leo through an open adoption. Open adoption means that there will be some contact between the child and the birth family. Sometimes the contact can be only a few letters and pictures per year and other times visits between the birth mother or birth father and the child, every open adoption is different.

Baby Leo's birth mother is Callie who became pregnant through an unplanned pregnancy when she was 25 years old. Callie and her boyfriend decided to give up their baby for adoption and eventually Callie picked Kristen&Brian as the family who would get to become Leo's adoptive parents.
