Get your adoption questions answered. Adoption has drastically improved over the years, allowing the birth mother to have control over the process. Adoption is a chance to great way to support your child and their future. Though not easy, it’s a great alternative if you are not ready to parent.
Open Adoption
Open adoption is the most popular type of adoption these days. With an open adoption, there is some flexibility with communication and visitations with the adoptive family and the child. Each party will set up visits with one another and the child. It’s up to both parties to build the type of relationship they would like.
Closed Adoption
A closed adoption is where the adoptive family and birth mom remain anonymous. The child’s birth certificate and identifying information is sealed after everything gets finalized with the adoption. Many women choose a closed adoption plan to feel like they receive some closure.
Semi-Open Adoption
A semi-open adoption is a good mixture of both open and closed adoption. With this type of adoption, communication between the birth parents and adoptive parents is done through a third party to protect any identifying information. If you choose semi-open adoption, you will work with an adoption agency or an adoption professional to find an adoptive family with the same desire of the amount of contact.
