In the 1907’s adoption in United States was secretive. Couples typically adopt babies of their own race. To make sure their adoption was undetected. Adoptions have been confidential because, to avoid a physically or verbally abusive situation or unsupportive friends or family members. Adoption is a very personal and hard making decision to make it can be taken in a negative or positive situation. Half of the time couples adopt because of infertility.
Since 2015 same sex couples adopt more often than opposite sex couples.
