If you don't mind my asking, did you do a closed or open adoption? We are very concerned that if we adopt domestically, we will have a hard time finding an agency that will do a closed adoption.
Thanks!

You're not going to have much luck finding an agency that will do completely closed adoptions. Most of them encourage a lot of contact with birthfamily members. About the least contact you're going to find is sending the birthfamily pictures and letters a couple times a year.
