adoption agencies.

Closed Adoption
- Is an adoption where the adoptive and biological parents do not know
one another and no contact permitted between them and the child after
adoption
Foreign Adoption
- The U. S. Immigration and Naturalization Service regulates the
adoption of children from other countries. Foreign adoptions may be
transacted privately or through an adoption agency.
Stepparent Adoption
- If a parent marries again after a divorce, the new spouse may adopt
the child.
Inter-family Adoption
- Family members, such as brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles or
grandparents may adopt a child when death, divorce or some other
inability to care for the child arises.
Laws regulate the costs adoptive
parents are allowed to pay biological parents. It is a crime to pay
excessive money for an adoption. Lawyers experienced in family law and
adoptions can protect the rights of the child, as well as the rights of
