Adoption is not giving up but a selfless act toward your child and their future. Choosing adoption is a great option if you are not fit to raise a child right now, no matter what the reason is. It’s a courageous decision.
How Does Adoption Work?
Adoption has more than one adoption plan option! Here’s more information so you can decide what plan is best for you and the type of relationship you want with your child, if any. The two most common adoption plans are open and closed adoption.
Open Adoption
This is the most common type of adoption as it offers the most open relationship with your child and the adoptive family of your choosing.
An open adoption plan allows you and the adoptive family you have chosen to exchange identifiable information. You and the adoptive family come up with a mutual agreement to arrange visitations, calls, emails, letters, etc.
Closed Adoption
Sometimes, life is challenging and not fit for a child. If you are concerned about the safety of your child or other reasons, closed adoption may be for you.
With closed adoption, you can guarantee your adoption documents are closed. The birth family and the adoptive family share no identifying information. Everything is confidential. The courts seal the record of the biological mother on the original birth certificate.
