A quick definition of confidential adoption:

Confidential adoption is when the details of the adoption are kept private. This means that the birth parents and the adoptive parents do not share information about each other. Adoption is when a child becomes part of a new family through a legal process. This happens when the child is an orphan, has been abandoned, or when the parents' rights have been taken away by a court. Adoption gives the child the same rights and responsibilities as if they were born into the new family. It is different from fostering or being taken care of temporarily. Adoption is a special way to create a new family.

A more thorough explanation:

Confidential adoption is a type of adoption where the identities of the birth parents and adoptive parents are kept private. It is also known as closed adoption.

Adoption is a legal process where a parent-child relationship is created between two parties who are not related by blood. This relationship is established through a court order after it has been determined that the child is an orphan, has been abandoned, or the parental rights of the birth parents have been terminated.

Confidential adoption means that the birth parents and adoptive parents do not have contact with each other and their identities are kept confidential. This type of adoption is usually preferred by birth parents who want to keep their decision to place their child for adoption private.

For example, if a teenage girl becomes pregnant and decides to place her child for adoption, she may choose a confidential adoption so that her family and friends do not find out about her pregnancy and decision to place her child for adoption.

Another example is if a couple is unable to have children and decides to adopt, they may choose a confidential adoption so that their child does not have contact with the birth parents.

Overall, confidential adoption is a way for birth parents and adoptive parents to keep their identities private and maintain a level of anonymity in the adoption process.

no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
