A quick definition of identified adoption:

Identified adoption is when a birth parent chooses a specific family to adopt their child, instead of going through an adoption agency. This is also called private adoption. Adoption is when a child becomes part of a new family through a legal process. The new parents have all the same rights and responsibilities as if the child was born to them. Adoption is different from fostering, which is when a child lives with a family temporarily. Adoption is a special way to make a family bigger and full of love.

A more thorough explanation:

Identified adoption is a type of private adoption where the birth parents choose the adoptive parents for their child. It falls under the broader category of adoption, which is the legal process of creating a parent-child relationship between two parties who are not biologically related.

Adoption is usually granted after a determination that the child is an orphan, has been abandoned, or the parents' parental rights have been terminated by court order. The adoptive parents assume all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of a biological parent.

For example, if a birth mother chooses a couple to adopt her child, that would be an identified adoption. The birth mother and adoptive parents may have a pre-existing relationship or may have found each other through an adoption agency.

It's important to note that adoption is different from legitimation, which refers to the act of establishing a legal relationship between a parent and a child who is already biologically related. Adoption is also different from fostering, which is a temporary arrangement where a child is placed in the care of a foster family.

Overall, identified adoption is a way for birth parents to have more control over the adoption process and choose the family they want to raise their child.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
