In a closed adoption, both parents have no contact, and their identities aren't shared. All adoptions in California are Closed Adoptions by default. However, you can still opt for an Open Adoption.

Agency Adoption Note that private agencies can help with domestic and international adoption, while public agencies are limited to domestic adoption. In California's agency adoption, an agency acts as the adoption professional, the link between the birth family and the adoptive parent.

What is an agency adoption? An agency adoption is when parents adopt through a licensed private adoption agency. The adoptive parents and birth parents can meet and get to know each other. Birth parents who work with an agency to place their child, must give up their rights as parents to the agency.

Legal and Financial Considerations: - The adoption process can be lengthy, complex, and expensive. Legal fees, agency fees, and other costs can add up, and there may be ongoing expenses related to the child's needs. Lack of Medical History:

The adoption process establishes a permanent, legal parent-child relationship between a child and their adoptive parent(s).

There are many reasons people choose to start a family--or grow their family--through adoption. Some have a desire for children without having a spouse; others may have infertility or physical pregnancy concerns, and many same-sex couples choose adoption as a path to parenthood as well.

Benefits of an Independent Adoption Lower cost (on average) due to fewer professionals involved in the process. More direct contact with the prospective birth mother. Wait time for finding an adoption opportunity may be lower in certain situations.
