"I am beginning the process of placing a child for adoption and I have a question about closed adoption. Just how closed is it? I know closed adoption isn't the popular choice anymore but I really think in my circumstances it's the best decision I can make. I really am not looking for contact or to be found at a later date. Any advice? Words of wisdom? "
Melissa,
I am the adoptive parent of a 15 year old son. Our adoption is closed. What that means in our case is that we do not have any contact with any member of his birth family at all. I have certain information that will help him locate them if he ever chooses to do so.
In some "closed" adoptions, you can still get an annual photo and letter updating on the child's progress.
Always be aware though that someday the child might still be able to find you.
