Adoption is a complex process that ultimately results in an awaiting family receiving the baby they have hoped for. Thousands of children are placed in an adoptive family every year.

Closed adoption is almost the polar opposite to open adoption. Closed adoption is when the birth parents seal their personal information and have no personal contact with the adoptive parents or the child. The adoptive parents and the child cannot gain access to any personal identifying information unless the biological parents unseal the records or the child meets the age required. This form of adoption is extremely restrictive and often leaves the child wondering about their past and why they were adopted. Most children are left with various questions that cannot be answered due to maintaining the privacy of the birth parents. Although closed adoption can keep the adoptee and the adoptive parents safe, if the birth parents were dangerous in any way, most children have to wait until they are adults to search for information that may still be restricted. Some birth parents eventually unseal the adoption files but request to not be contacted. Closed adoption can have as many restricti ons as the birth parents decided. Within open and closed adoptions the rights and laws may vary. The rights for adoptees are different than the rights for the birth parents. In several states, new laws are being passed in order to give the adoptees information that they are looking for.
