Have you chosen adoption in Las Vegas and are looking into the different types to choose from? Choosing to go through with adoption is not the biggest or final decision you will have to make during the Nevada adoption process. It can be one of the more difficult decisions, but there is still a long way to go from there. At Adoption Choices of Nevada, we are here to help assist you with through your adoption journey.

Before we dive into the types of adoption, ask yourself a few questions. Why did you choose adoption? What do you see for yourself in the future? Do you still want to have a life with your child? All these questions are important for deciding what type of adoption you might want. We have a variety of waiting adoptive families so we are able to do our best to match you with an adoptive family that wants the same thing.

What are the Different Types of Adoption in Las Vegas

There are three types of adoption: open, semi-open, and closed. They are all different, and all serve very different purposes. Open adoption is when you and the adoptive family have contact with one another and schedule visits. You are also able to send and receive letters and pictures. A semi-open adoption is very similar but less open. In Las Vegas, semi-open adoption is where the birth mother and adoptive family communicate through an intermediate party, typically an adoption agency. A closed adoption is completely different in the sense that there is no communication between the birth mother and adoptive family. You will know little to nothing about them, and they won’t know anything about you. It is a more private option. 

Benefits of an Open Adoption

Open adoption in Las Vegas is becoming increasingly popular, and it might be because the younger generations are now grown up starting families of their own. Open adoption is definitely a more open-minded option. It allows for the families to interact and for the birth mother to remain a part of their child’s life. Although you might not be the legal guardian of your child, you are still their mothers. Of course, boundaries will need to be made, and both parties will have to agree to them, but other than that, open adoption is a good option.

Some benefits of open adoption are sending and receiving pictures and letters. You can also arrange visits depending on the agreement with the family. There is also the option of following their social media so that you can see regular life updates with them and your child. The biggest benefit to take away from open adoption is that you are able to stay connected and watch your child grow. It is all about the level of openness that you want with your child and the adoptive family. The decision is yours to make and only yours.
