Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An open adoption is one in which the birth parents and adoptive parents have some level of communication and may meet one another. This is different from a confidential adoption, in which the birth parents and adoptive parents have no contact and no information about each other. A private adoption refers to either a domestic or international adoption that is arranged between the birth parents and adoptive parents without the involvement of an adoption agency. A temporary adoption is not a commonly used term, but may refer to a situation in which a child is placed in a temporary foster care situation while their permanent adoptive family is found.
