What is a closed adoption?

It is when the birth parents and adoptive family have no contact with each other at any time.

What is an open adoption?

It is when the adoptive family and the birth family share information openly and may even meet each other.

What is an adoption plan?

A plan you make about your future and your baby’s future. This includes choosing the baby’s adoptive family, medical care, counseling, and education about adoption.

You have the right to:

  • Place your child for adoption
  • Choose the parents who will adopt your child
  • Write an open agreement, which allows you to share pictures and letters with your child after adoption
  • Receive financial help with certain reasonable and actual expenses
  • Change your mind about the adoption for a designated time period after the baby is born
