What is a closed adoption?
A closed adoption is a type of adoption in which the identity of the biological parents remains confidential throughout the adoption process. In this type of adoption, the adoptive parents will not have the opportunity to meet the biological parents, nor will the child be able to know the identity of his or her biological parents. In a closed adoption, an adoption agency serves as the intermediary between the adoptive family and the biological parents.
If you are considering adopting a child or giving up your child for adoption, a closed adoption may be the form of adoption which best suits your needs. For many, a closed adoption gives them the privacy that they want during the adoption process. To learn about the closed adoption process, contact the Manhattan Beach adoption lawyer Baden V. Mansfield, Attorney At Law, at 310-546-5858 today.
