Open Adoption You know the adoptive family and may exchange photos, letters, or visits Birthmothers wanting ongoing connection
Semi-Open Adoption CFK acts as a middle contact to share updates while keeping your identity private Birthmothers who want updates but prefer privacy
Closed Adoption No information or contact is shared Birthmothers needing full confidentiality

You can adjust your preferences any time before signing legal consent after birth.
