What are closed and open adoptions?

A. A "closed" adoption is one that has no direct contact or exchange of information between the birthparents and the adoptive family. An "open" adoption is one where the names and identifying information of birthparents and adoptive families are disclosed to the other and there is direct contact between the two parties that generally continues after the birth and placement.

The terms of the relationship are determined by the participants. Seldom is an adoption either fully "open" or fully "closed"; most fall somewhere between the two. Some involve limited contact, either in person or by phone, exchange of photographs following placement, etc. There is no "right" adoption plan that meets the needs of all birthparents and adoptive families.
