Mommy24: If you mention to a California agency that you want closed adoption, they get very agitated and you are told that this is a terrible idea, "closed adoption is illegal" (no joke), and in general made to feel like a miserable person for wanting that.
We have found closed adoption unavailable unless you go through the state, in which case, you are not likely to get a healthy infant.
But to clarify: we are settling for a level of contact between the ** and ourselves which we did not initially care for...not settling on the baby!
