"Placed for adoption" sounds better to me. I am an adoptive mother; the adoption community does not like "given up" and would probably not like either "placed for adoption" or "adopted out." The preferred wording is very cumbersome, something like "made an adoption plan for the child," and I don't know of any adjective or noun that would encompass that.

For me the terms "adopted" and "adopted out" are totally different. In a family file, a child adopted means one outside blood line. A child legally adopted by family member, ie Grandparents, aunts or uncles, cousins, etc should have a better defination than I've come up with. Family Member Adoption? There's been many cases of grandparents adopting their son's or daughter's children due to death of both parents or just sheer abandonment. "Adopted out" means I've released my child to Adoptive agencies for adoption by another family. Does anyone have a better term than "Adopted Out"?
