Closed adoption (also called "confidential" adoption and sometimes "secret" adoption) is the process by where an infant is adopted by another family, and the record of the biological parent(s) is kept sealed. (Often, the biological father is not recorded—even on the original birth certificate.) An adoption of an older child who already knows his or her biological parent(s) cannot be made closed or secret. This formerly was the most traditional and popular type of adoption, peaking in the decades of the post-World War II Baby Scoop Era. It still exists today, but it exists alongside the practice of open adoption. The sealed records effectively prevent the adoptee and the biological parents from finding, or even knowing anything about each other (especially in the days before the internet). However, the emergence of non-profit organizations and private companies to assist individuals with their sealed records has been effective in helping people who want to connect with biological relatives to do so.

Asked by cheryl C - Fri Jun 15 22:34:45 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Also adopted and born in NOLA. Write me sometime, and I can give you the heads up on who to trust help you search in this city and who you cannot. They have some searchers only after your money. I knew one that was a real bitch. It's hard to find something for free. Also, New Orleans is probably one of the hardest places to search. Unfortunately, you will not be able to get your original birth certificate in this state. Answered by vmarie84 - Fri Jun 22 00:11:36 2007 Is an open adoption binding or can it be closed? Q. For those of you who need to know(like AnnaBelle), this question ids not about me and my wife's adoption. It was closed from the beginning. This question is about my friend who adopted a child through an open adoption who want to have it now closed. Reason being to protect his child from the birth mother. For your information, she has said that she would run away and kidnap the baby if she ever got the chance, we don't want that to happen. So she is a threat to the child. Asked by Seba U - Thu Sep 3 15:48:38 2009 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. Same question. Same motive. Same answer. Why did you feel the need to repost instead of adding to the last question and launching a personal attack? I agree...NO one here advocates exposing a child to danger. So if that is the case...they shouldn't even be hesitating. IF that's the case. You asked "how long" last time...if there is imminent danger...doesn't sound like anyone was rushing to save the child. So which is it? Imminent danger or convenient timing? Crazychick: Any support for those claims? You seem pretty sure. I have found research support for and against your statements. Just curious.

Q. i was born in michigan when all records were and still are sealed. how do i get around a court order? Asked by chinacat - Sat Dec 2 03:24:59 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am an adoptee myself, and I don't know about Michigan law, but are you searching for your parents directly or just your medical records? I think nowadays you can get your medical history, but no contact information. It is completely up to you, but if you would like to contact your birth parents, I would suggest trying a mutual matching company such as international soundex reunion registry (I'm sure there are others out there). You send them your information (what you know of it) and if your birth parent(s) are also looking for you, the registry will match you up. It is a big step, so be prepared if you don't get a response. Answered by piscesski - Sun Dec 3 14:15:25 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Closed adoption" |
