Understanding Adoption Types

Every woman’s situation is unique. That’s why you can choose from three adoption styles:

Adoption Type What It Means Best For
Open Adoption You stay connected with the adoptive family and may exchange photos, letters, or visits. Birthmothers who want continued contact
Semi-Open Adoption CFK helps facilitate communication while protecting your privacy. Women who want occasional updates without direct contact
Closed Adoption No information is shared between you and the adoptive family. Birthmothers who prefer full confidentiality

Your decision isn’t final until you sign legal consent after birth and your plan can change before then.
