520    Prior to 1990, fewer than five percent of domestic infant 
       adoptions were open. In 2012, ninety percent or more of 
       adoption agencies are recommending open adoption. Yet 
       these agencies do not often or adequately prepare either 
       adopting parents or birth parents for the road ahead of 
       them! The adult parties in open adoptions are left 
       floundering. There are many resources on why to do open 
       adoption, but what about how? Open adoption isn't just 
       something parents do when they exchange photos, send 
       emails, share a visit. It's a lifestyle that may feel 
       intrusive at times, be difficult or inconvenient at other 
       times. Tensions can arise even in the best of 
       circumstances. But knowing how to handle these situations 
       and how to continue to make arrangements work for the 
       child involved is paramount. This book offers readers the 
       tools and the insight to do just that. It covers common 
       open-adoption situations and how real families have 
       navigated typical issues successfully. Like all useful 
       parenting books, it provides parents with the tools to 
       come to answers on their own, and answers questions that 
       might not yet have come up. Through their own stories and 
       those of other families of open adoption, Lori and Crystal
       review the secrets to success, the pitfalls and challenges,
       the joys and triumphs. By putting the adopted child at the
       center, families can come to enjoy the benefits of open 
       adoption and mitigate the challenges that may arise. More 
       than a how-to, this book shares a mindset, a heartset, 
       that can be learned and internalized, so parents can 
       choose to act out of love and honesty throughout their 
       child's growing up years, helping that child to grow up 
       whole.
