Explain the difference between an open and closed adoption?
In closed adoptions the birth mother has no contact with the adoptive parents or child after the consent for adoption has been signed and sometimes does not even meet the adoptive parents. When an adoption is considered “open”, there is usually some contact between the adoptive parents and the birth mother after the adoption. Many times the contact is periodic updates and pictures from the adoptive family to the birth mother. Sometimes visits are allowed. The terms of an open adoption are worked out between the birth mother and the adoptive parents.
