Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In semi-open adoptions, communication between the adoptive and birth parents takes place only through a third party such as an adoption agency or lawyer. The child may or may not have contact with the birth parent, and adoptive parents may or may not have access to medical information about the birth family. However, unlike in open adoptions, the birth parents do not have direct contact or the ability to interfere or co-parent with the adoptive parents.
