Question

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  An open adoption allows the birth mother to maintain contact with her child after the adoption while still giving the child the opportunity to have a relationship with their adoptive parents. This may be the best choice for Tracey if she wants to maintain a relationship with her child while also providing them with a stable home environment. A closed adoption would not allow Tracey to have any contact with her child after the adoption. Becoming an adoptive parent or finding a stepfamily are not relevant options for Tracey as she has already decided to place her baby up for adoption.
