I'm new to this board and am considering a domestic adoption, after suffering with infertility for over 10 years. We plan to work with an adoption attorney as opposed to an agency. I've read some information that concerns me and I'd love some clarification on this subject. Is it possible to have a domestic adoption, whereby the prospective adoptive parents meet the birthmother, but once the baby is born, the birthmother (and birthfather) give up all rights to any future contact with the adoptive parents? How likely is it to find this type of arrangement? How would this type of adoption be phrased - a semi-open adoption, or is it called something else? Any insights on the best way for us to proceed is greatly appreciated!
