    • We honor the connection adoptees have to both of their families.
    • We recognize the love and joy as well as the losses and grief of adoption.
    • We do not diminish one family in favor of another.
    • We are flexible, understanding that needs and circumstances change.
    • We set boundaries on the basis of what is best for our children.
    • We understand that open adoption looks like different things for different families.
