Why Consistent Communication Matters in Open Adoption
In one Heart to Heart Adoptions story, an adoptive family began strong—sending updates, sharing photos, and honoring every promise. But slowly, communication faded. No more messages. No reassurance. Only silence.

Open adoption doesn’t fall apart because families are imperfect.
It falls apart when communication disappears entirely.
A Birth Mother’s Experience With Broken Promises
Years after the first placement, the same birth mother faced another unplanned pregnancy. She considered placing her new baby with the adoptive family that had her first child. They hoped for that too—two siblings raised together.
But trust cannot grow where promises were not kept.
Birth mothers never forget the children they carried. They deserve updates. They deserve honesty. They deserve the truth.
How Our Hearts Connect Strengthens Open Adoption Relationships
This situation, lost emails, changed phone numbers, vanished communication, is exactly why Our Hearts Connect was created.
Before this platform, adoptive families had good intentions, but communication often got lost:
- –Emails changed
- –Messages disappeared
- –Life got busy
- –Birth mothers waited for updates that never came
Our Hearts Connect provides:
- –Secure photo and message uploads
- –Simple access for birth mothers
- –Automatic organization
- –No shared phone numbers or personal emails
- –Full agency support
It removes complications.
It removes misunderstandings.
It removes the possibility of disappearing communication.
It helps families keep their promises.
The Role of Trust in Healthy Open Adoption
Trust isn’t optional.
It’s the foundation your child will eventually stand on.
Someday, maybe soon, maybe in twenty years, your child may meet their birth family. They will ask questions. They will compare stories. They will learn who kept their promises.
Your actions today shape how secure they feel tomorrow.
