[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A closed adopted does not assume the birth mother wanted no contact. Stop repeating this ad nauseum. It [b]was designed to protect the ADOPTIVE PARENTS only.[/b] Keep in mind also that the birth father had zero rights for many years. It is pretty easy, btw, to find the bio mother without DNA...and much harder for her to find the adoptive family.[/quote]

This is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.  Before an adoption takes place, an option for a closed adoption is solely made by the birth mother.  She is not opting for a closed adoption to protect the adoptive parents - she is choosing that option to protect herself. 
Please stop spewing false information.  You are referencing the early days of adoption when there were mandatory closed adoptions.  that stopped decades ago.  And when a birth mother chooses a closed adoption, it is SOLELY her decision and she makes it for her benefit only.[/quote]

Until the past 10-15 years the majority of adoptions were close. It was standard practice.  Most people are talking about adoptions where the adoptees are adults and open adoptions were very rare.[/quote]
