Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent studies suggest that open adoptions, which allow for ongoing contact between the adoptive family and birth family, led to better adjustment for adolescents and emerging adults. This is because open adoptions allow for a greater sense of identity and understanding of their roots for adoptees. Closed or secret adoptions, where no contact is allowed, can lead to feelings of confusion, loss, and identity issues for adoptees. Classified adoptions, as a term, do not exist in the context of adoption.
