Foster Care to Adoption
Closed Adoption
a form of adoption in which the biological parents have no direct contact with the adoptive family, and the adoptive parents often know little or nothing about the biological parents.( Bing search(Dictionary)
the agency or attorney provides total confidentiality between the birth parent(s) and the adoptive family. All communication between parties goes through the agency or attorney. There are provisions made for the adoptive child(ren) to make contact, but in general, there is a firewall for direct communication in a closed adoption.
Semi Open Adoption
A semi-open adoption is one where the birth mother and adopting parents have contact during her pregnancy and they usually meet in person before or right after the birth. They exchange calls and/or texts during this time. After the adoption, the adoptive parents send updates so you can be aware of how your child is doing as they grow.

Foster Care
Foster care is a temporary home for a child with a caring family. The goal is to safely reunite these children with their birth families. As a foster parent, your impact goes beyond a child - you may have a chance to help an entire family move toward wholeness.(KY.GOV)

**The goal for many children in foster care is to safely reunite with their birth families. This is not always possible, and through a series of legal hearings, a judge may terminate the parents' legal rights to their child. If both parents have parental rights terminated, then the child becomes legally available for adoption.(Ky Faces) http://www.ky.gov
Adoption provides a child with a life-long legal and emotional family relationship. When a child is adopted, that child moves permanently from one family to another family. In the process, all parental rights are legally transferred to the new parents. This means adoptive parents have the same rights and responsibilities as parents whose children were born to them. It also means adopted children have all the emotional, social, legal, and familial benefits of biological children. (Ky.gov)
In 2021, 203,770 children under 18 entered foster care, a rate of 3 per 1,000.
The average age of a foster youth is 8 and a half years old, and they typically spend 20 months in foster care.
In 2017, 9 out of every 1,000 children in the U.S. were determined to be victims of abuse or neglect.

Open Adoption
An adoption is considered open when there is a high level of communication in the relationship between a birth mother and the parents who are raising her child. The birth mother has contact information for the family and can reach out to the adopting parents when she likes. An open adoption relationship can include phone or video chats, texts, and even visits. Your child grows up knowing you and your relationship evolves naturally. (https;//www.adoptionnetwork.com)
