A quick definition of identified adoption:

Identified adoption is when a birth parent chooses a specific family to adopt their child, instead of going through an adoption agency. This is also called private adoption. Adoption is when a child becomes part of a new family through a legal process. The new parents have all the same rights and responsibilities as if the child was born to them. Adoption is different from fostering, which is when a child lives with a family temporarily. Adoption is a special way to make a family bigger and full of love.

A more thorough explanation:

Identified adoption is a type of private adoption where the birth parents choose the adoptive parents for their child. It falls under the broader category of adoption, which is the legal process of creating a parent-child relationship between two parties who are not biologically related.

Adoption is usually granted after a determination that the child is an orphan, has been abandoned, or the parents' parental rights have been terminated by court order. The adoptive parents assume all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of a biological parent.

For example, if a birth mother chooses a couple to adopt her child, that would be an identified adoption. The birth mother and adoptive parents may have a pre-existing relationship or may have found each other through an adoption agency.

It's important to note that adoption is different from legitimation, which refers to the act of establishing a legal relationship between a parent and a child who is already biologically related. Adoption is also different from fostering, which is a temporary arrangement where a child is placed in the care of a foster family.

Overall, identified adoption is a way for birth parents to have more control over the adoption process and choose the family they want to raise their child.

You remind me of a friend of mine from back in the day. They came in at the top of their class at a T14 but reapplied before doing this to get HYS. They still didn't get it the second time with perfect stats. That stuff is competitive and what does it matter anyway? Just saying!

Haha didn't realize you were admitted at Cornell not why I'm saying this haha. I've also seen a few people get H and one person get Y the second time around. Hopefully things just work out now but if it doesn't go your way the second time don't worry ✌️ you 🫵 are amazing! For the record though my housemate's friend who graduated from Cornell has an appellate clerkship.
