		<description>Scarlet, Even in an open adoption, the relationship between the child and the birthfamily (who may only visit once a year) could be a much more drastic change, than for them to go to the adoptive grandparents, whom they may see daily.&lt;br /&gt;
I would say choose someone you child already sees very often, and who can meet the needs for retaining the same level of visits with birthfamily too.</description>

		<description>personally, if the aparents die, then the birthparents should have some say, if they are in a postion to. About where their birth child is going.  It would be stressful for the child to be sent off to more non related people. If the birthparent/s are able and have a relationship with the child, how do you explain to that child that they cannot go to the birthmom should amom and dad die?</description>
