Cooperative Adoption

  • Rillera, Mary Jo
  • Kaplan, Sharon

“Cooperative adoption represents possibilities. It is used by each participant differently. Cooperative adoption adds options and extends family relationships. Cooperative adoption is knowing that children all come into this life whole, with all rights and relationships intact. And it is understanding that no one has the right to interrupt those rights or deprive another being of them.”
“Cooperative adoption is the child’s access to both families, to both sets of parents, with progressive participation in the decisions that will affect his/her life. It is important to view adoption from the child’s perspective rather than from the adults’ perspective. If the child has access to both families, he/she does not lose anything, and both sets of parents, by the nature of the arrangement will have continued access to each other.” Authors
