Answer: Confidential adoption

Explanation:

Confidential adoption also known as closed adoption is referred to as a process under which one tends to adopt an infant and the data or record of his/her biological parents is kept secret or sealed. At several times the record of biological father is not even recorded, even on child's original birth certificate. Adoption of an much older child who tends to have knowledge about his/her biological parents cannot be kept closed or secret.
