OPEN ADOPTION
Open adoption wants more involvement if a child is born after adoption of the embryos. The contracts may specify meeting and general contact requirements between the child and the donor family.
SEMI-OPEN
A semi-open generally has some contact after the adoption is completed. The donor family would like to know if and how many children the embryos produced. They may request general information on the birth, photos and may be interested in contact in the future…but not required.
CLOSED
A closed adoption does not allow any contact after the adoption of the embryos. The donor does not want to know if the embryos produce a baby and do not want to have any contact with the adoptive family after the adoption is completed.
