Parents should decide.
Its nearly impossible to open a closed adoption, you would have to get a court order with probable cause to the information....like if you are sick and need your birthparents blood tested...or something like that. But the court must grant you the right to see the adoption records. That is the only way I know of.
An open and closed infant adoption varies greatly. An open infant adoption allows the genetic parents to still have the right to see their child. A closed infant adoption prevents the genetic parents from seeing their child.
In an open adoption the birth parent(s) are allowed to visit and contact the child. The child may not know them as mom or dad but rather as aunt uncle or cousin. In a closed adoption the birth parents have no contact with the child what so ever. Also, in a closed adoption, the adoptive parents have the right not to tell the child they are adopted if that makes life easier. I was adopted in a closed adoption.
Any parent looking to adopt should check with their city/state about kids up for adoption. Contact a local adoption agency to find out who is up for adoption. Make sure you know if you want to have an open or closed adoption (open is the birth parents can contact the child closed is they can not) and be prepared for adoption to be set up and then fall though (the birth mother/father stop the adoption process).
A closed adoption is where, after the child is adopted, there is no further contact withe the birth-family, except maybe annual letters. I am an adopted child and I highly recommend closed adoptions, because once they're open- they stay open. Guaranteed.
There are many types of adoption including international and local. There is also Open and private adoptions. An Open adoption is when the biological parent(s) are allowed visitation with the child. A private adoption is like when a child is turned over into the chosen adopted family right after birth and the biological parent(s) have no contact with the child.
The only thing they have in common is that you are not raising your child. As for the adoption procedure it is the same. And as soon as the adoption is legal and through the adoptive parents can close it if they want to.
When a person is considering adoption. he or she should look for an adoption agency with a good reputation. They should include open adoption as an option, and provide information about legal rights.
The latest information regarding adoption from Romania is that only people with full Romanian citizenship or dual Romanian citizenship can adopt children.
Well, honey, getting adoption records can be a real pain in the behind. You'll need to contact the state's vital records office or the adoption agency involved, fill out a bunch of forms, and probably jump through some hoops. Just be prepared to do some digging and be patient, because these things don't just fall into your lap like a hot date on a Saturday night.
