A quick definition of direct adoption:

Direct adoption is when a person or couple becomes the legal parent(s) of a child without going through an adoption agency. This means that the birth parents and adoptive parents make an agreement without the help of a third party. Adoption is when a child becomes part of a new family and has all the same rights and responsibilities as if they were born into that family. This usually happens when the child is an orphan, has been abandoned, or if the birth parents' rights have been terminated by a court. Adoption is different from fostering or being taken care of by relatives. It is a special way of creating a family and giving a child a new home and family to love and care for them.

A more thorough explanation:

Direct adoption is a type of adoption where the adoptive parents work directly with the birth parents or a private agency to adopt a child. It is also known as private 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 by a court order after determining that the child is an orphan, has been abandoned, or the parental rights of the birth parents have been terminated.

Direct adoption is different from other types of adoption, such as foster care adoption or international adoption, as it involves a direct agreement between the adoptive parents and the birth parents or a private agency.

For example, a couple who cannot have children may choose to pursue direct adoption by working with a private adoption agency to find a birth mother who is willing to place her child for adoption. The adoptive parents and the birth mother may work together to create an adoption plan that meets the needs of everyone involved.

Direct adoption can be a good option for families who want to have more control over the adoption process and who want to have a closer relationship with the birth parents. However, it can also be more expensive and may involve more legal and emotional complexities than other types of adoption.
