Relationship with birthparents & Photographs

Relationship with birth parents

You may want to mention how you see your relationship with the birth parents, especially the birth mother.

  • Do you want to meet her?
  • Exchange letters or pictures?
  • How flexible are you about the openness in your relationship?

Photographs

Like the text, photos should convey your personality and lifestyle. Include pets, your home, hobbies, or activities, and at least one shot of the two of you that shows your faces clearly. Photos should be in focus and not be over or under developed. Be sure to include captions.

As you write, it may sound like the biographical information in your home study. However, this is written TO THE BIRTH PARENTS, who will not see your home study.
