Best Answer

After adopting a child, the family that adopted is known as the child's "adoptive family." This term is usually only used to describe the legal relationship- it is not commonly used in a social setting.

The biological parents of that child are generally referred to as the "birthparents," and any members of either birthparent's family as "birthfamily."

Can you adopt out a baby that is half Indian?

Yes but the tribe have to accept the adoptive family according to the Indian Child Welfare Act. This is a federal law that deals with adoptive placement of Native children. The Act states that the children can be placed with adoptive families in the following order: 1) Native biological family 2) Native, same tribe, non-biological family 3) Native, different tribe, non-biological family 4) Non-native So the tribe don't have to agree with you giving your child up but they have to agree to the adoptive placement of any tribal members (or the children of tribal members) and has up to 2 years from the date of finalization of the adoption to become involved. So contact an adoptive agency so you can find a suitable family as soon as possible and in the meantime your child will be in foster care.
