Understanding the Types of Adoption

Adoption Type What It Means Good Fit For…
Open Adoption You stay in touch with the adoptive family through updates or visits. Women who want an ongoing relationship.
Semi-Open Adoption CFK shares updates on your behalf while keeping your identity private. Women who want some contact but prefer privacy.
Closed Adoption No identifying contact or updates are exchanged. Women who want full confidentiality.

Remember: Your plan can be changed or adjusted at any time before you sign legal consent after birth.
