Closed adoption policies

Closed adoption policies mean that there is no communication or identifying information shared between the birth parents and the adopted individual. The birth parents and adoptive family usually do not know each other's identities, and the adopted person typically doesn't have access to their original birth records. This approach aims to protect the privacy of all parties involved, often resulting in a sealed record system. While it provides confidentiality, it can also limit the adoptee's ability to access personal history or contact birth family members later in life.
