Abstract
The paper deals with open adoption. In general terms, it means that the adoptee and the birth family are allowed to have contacts after the adoption. In the Italian legal system, this possibility was recently confirmed by the Constitutional Court with the decision No. 183/2023, examined in the present writing. The author considers the legal, psychological and social reasons that suggest openness in adoption and discusses important issues, also on the basis of some European legislations that admit open adoption.
