Society has gone through changes but many of the foundations of the adoption system are related to how the world was. The matter in which children are adopted is still based on primitive ideas of the past. Forty years ago, the idea of a single mother was an unthinkable and shameful situation. Women were expected to be proper and wait for marriage before making love to a man. The social opinions were important and life altering at that period.

The opinions of other people is not relevant in the twenty first century, people do as they please with no concern of others judgments. Along with the change of how people think, a change in the system should be required. In the past closed adoption was used to protect the birth mother’s name and not bring shame to the baby. In this new time woman, more often give up a baby because of money issues or age, not for the fear of gossip. All adoptions should be performed in an open adoption Peoples 2 system. Open adoption provides a solution to the emotion distress involved in adoption and has more good aspects then that of closed adoption.
