Can I remain anonymous and protect my identity from disclosure?

You can choose to remain anonymous by allowing FCCA to select the adoptive parents on your behalf. Your identifying information will not be disclosed to them.  However, it is possible that the child could apply to the court at a future date and request that the adoption records be unsealed. It is also possible for laws to change so that adoption records could be opened without a court order. This means that the child could potentially learn your identity and whereabouts.

FCCA encourages you to keep your address and contact information on file with us. That way, if the child contacts us in an attempt to find you, we can contact you confidentially to ask you if you are interested in making contact with the child. We can then confidentially convey your response to the child, as well, whether you want contact or want to refuse it.
