If sharing contact information is not for you and you’d rather the adoption agency handle that. The birth parent (s) can choose semi-open adoption. Hence the name, unlike in open adoption. Where they’re able to send pictures, videos, messages, and emails, in a semi-open adoption, the birth parent (s) are only able to send pictures back and forth. 

Finally, in a closed adoption. This is for the birth parent (s) that want the adoption agency to handle everything, from choosing the adoptive parent (s) to handling the communication. They would rather the adoptive parent (s) not be in the room during the birth. Instead of the birth parent (s) seeing the birth child after the birth.
