OPAN - Open Adoption Network

The Open Adoption Network is a charitable trust which was set up in 1994 to support families experiencing open adoption. Families include the adopted child, birth parents, adoptive parents, and the extended family. Families share their open adoption experiences with each other, so that as a group they can learn, grow, develop and provide support.

OPAN also works to raise awareness of open adoption in New Zealand, and helps provide pregnant parents with information so that they can make an informed decision about options available to them.
