That is interesting. I wonder if donor gametes will ever become more open and if that would be a good thing too.

That’s really interesting, does the magazine article tell you the names of the researchers (NIH will have funded it but probably not carried it out)?

Our family (including my son’s first mom) is part of that study. Anyone interested in reading the original journal article published by the researchers in <>Adoption Quarterly<> (or a bunch of other studies of open adoption) can find a link to it over at < HREF="http://openadoptionsupport.com/biblio" REL="nofollow">Open Adoption Support<>.

Here from LFCA@ The Muser, I found the book <>Beating the Adoption Odds<> by Dru Martin and Cynthia Martin Groves to be very helpful. The title's stupid (IMO), but the book provides a nice overview of the different types of adoption and what each has to offer (both pros & cons).
