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.

Q. if the grandparents adopt their grandchild and the parents insist in staying in the child's life what is the difference? (no there is no drugs involved btw...the child was taken away due to mental illness) Asked by kor - Tue Aug 25 15:41:52 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. If the parents are still in the life of the child then it is an open adoption. Closed adoptions are where the adoptive family and biological families have no contact and share no information. Many times the two will never meet and have no knowledge of anything about the other. In an open adoption, there is contact between the adoptive and biological families. They hopefully share information, pictures, and even visits. I would think (and I say this is only my opinion) but any adoption by a grandparent would have to be an open adoption.

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.

Q. What are the pros& cons of open adoption vs a closed adoption? Asked by Moonbeam - butterfly - Sat Nov 21 03:52:54 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. Very difficult question. Closed adoptions make it extremely difficult for any person to find out any information on any other person. This means that the person adopted can not find their natural families, the natural family can not find out any information on their child. It also means that if there is a medical issue, that the adoptive parents can not find the natural family. Everyone loses everything. In open adoption, the potential is that everyone will be able to have a relationship with each other, without lies. The natural mother can be a mother, having visits, phone conversations, updates, and can send gifts. The problem, is that open adoptions are not legally enforceable, and therefore if a mother is promised an open adoption, it… [cont.] Answered by Rainbow - Sun Nov 22 15:00:50 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Closed adoption" |
