confidential adoption

Read a random definition: confidential

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.
