New Horizons requires that each adoptive family provide you with pictures and updates at least 5 times during the first year and then annually until your child is 18 years old. However, if you determine that you do not want contact with the adoptive family and do not want to receive any pictures or updates, we simply hold the pictures and updates in your file just in case you change your mind and want to see them at a later date. Or, if you believe you would like pictures and/or updates more frequently, we work with you to establish a more frequent schedule of pictures and/or updates. Again, you determine how your adoption plan is written and we are here to be with you throughout the entire process. Ongoing contact between you and your social worker is encouraged but not forced. We are here for you whenever you need us!
