As reported by Super Lawyers in their article, “What to Expect When You Expect to Adopt,” the adoption process has evolved significantly over the past 30 years, with many modern adoptions now allowing for some level of contact between birth and adoptive parents. According to Seth A. Grob, a Colorado-based adoption attorney, most adoptions today involve openness, enabling adoptive families to exchange updates, photos, and even visits with birth parents.
How Adoption Works

- Finalizing the adoption in court
- Reviewing potential matches for risks and benefits
- Ensuring the child is eligible for adoption
- Applying for adoption assistance if the child has special needs
