I am not sure how often closed adoptions are done anymore. In my case it was a closed adoption, because that ruling about how the mother can change her mind up to (IIRC) 45 days after the adoption, is abolished in a closed adoption. Meaning she does not have the ability to change her mind and take the kid back. But this was almost thirty years ago. So things may have changed a bit.

Earlier in this thread I mentioned how I did find my biological family a few years ago. But do not keep in contact with them. At that time my new found 19 year old sister was putting her unborn up for adoption. She was doing open, and it was rather easy for her.

Now, as I understand it. In cases like that it is not too tough (legal wise), because it is planned out, and all the tests and what not have been completed long before the baby is even born. But if the supply raises, and demand stays the same, it would be harder for both parties.

This is why we need to simply find a better form of adoption law. So it is easier on all, while still looking out for the wellbeing of the child. But then again, alive period is better than dead.

Jones:- I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the range.

Interviewer:- Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
You're equipping them to become violent killers.
