Open adoptions are still complicated

Mothers who opt for open adoption relationships hope for a future with their child — but it doesn’t always end up that way. Author Nicole Chung joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why open adoptions are more complicated than it may look from the outset, why some mothers find themselves shut out of their biological children’s lives, and how the experience of birth mothers in these arrangements has been understudied. Her article “When Adoption Promises Are Broken” was published in The Atlantic.
