Choosing Open Adoption: How Can We Help You

Open Adoption

If you wish to continue your relationship with your child and the adoptive family even after the adoption process gets over, then an open adoption plan in Florida might be just what you’re looking for. With an open adoption, you can have as much contact as you’re open to.

But remember, every open adoption is unique, so you can tailor it to your specific needs.

It’s normal to have a lot of questions, which is why you should contact the oldest adoption agency in Florida- Adoption by Shepherd Care.

What Is Open Adoption?

Open adoption means you’ll have some kind of contact with your child and their adoptive family throughout their life. If you choose an open adoption plan, you can have contact with your baby in many ways.

It could be letters, phone/video calls, or in-person visits. Talk to the adoptive family and decide how both of you want to contact each other.

Official Statement from
Adoption by Shepherd Care

It has come to our attention that the Hulu series Good American Family contains inaccurate information regarding Adoption by Shepherd Care (ASC) and the adoption of Natalia. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify the facts.

Contrary to what is presented in the documentary, ASC did not initiate any communication or have any involvement with Mr. or Mrs. Barnett in connection to Natalia’s adoption. The legal adoption process for Natalia was completed in the state of New Hampshire, where the original adoptive family resided, and was facilitated through a New Hampshire-based agency—not Adoption by Shepherd Care.

For those seeking further clarification, we encourage you to watch The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, Season 2, Episode 1, which clearly states that Adoption by Shepherd Care was not the agency responsible for facilitating this adoption.

We want to express our respect for all agencies and professionals engaged in this vital work. However, it is essential that accurate information is shared with the public and that the correct entities are acknowledged for their role in any adoption process.

At Adoption by Shepherd Care, we remain steadfast in our mission to place children in safe, loving, and permanent homes. We uphold the highest standards of professionalism, ethical practice, and compassion for the children and families we serve.

We respectfully request that the media and members of the public refrain from further spreading misinformation related to this matter. While we understand the interest in this case, we also urge respect for the privacy and dignity of all individuals involved. Adoption is a deeply personal and emotional journey that must be approached with sensitivity and integrity.

Adoption by Shepherd Care will continue its unwavering commitment to finding loving and permanent placements for children, guided by the principles of honesty, compassion, and respect.
