Explanation:
it means what it says:

"a parent whose rights have not yet been terminated" = a parent who has not lost the right to decide on their child's custody/future

can use a private adoption body/board/agency to find the (type of) people they'd like to adopt the child

rather than having the Court (and Social Services) make that decision, by making the child in question a ward of court and thus taking any decision(s) from parent(s)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_(law)
The government or state is in loco parentis to the child, which generally entails assuming all lawful authority to make medical and legal decisions on the child's behalf

"If a parent executes a consent for placement of a minor with an adoption entity or qualified prospective adoptive parents and the minor child is in the custody of the department, but parental rights have not yet been terminated, the adoption consent is valid, binding, and enforceable by the court....
until your parental rights have been terminated, you can certainly choose the kind of life you desire for your child"

in simple terms (for the disagreer) parents make their OWN (private) arrangements, IF they STILL have the right to decide on their child's custody.

If so, they can choose whatever route they want to do this, either through family, board or agency etc. to find the adoptive parents (and type of people) they'd like to adopt the child

But the main thing is that the child is NOT a ward of court where the parent(s) have no say in the adoption process

private adoption program/procedure


Explanation:
private adoption plan is a program or procedure
---

A private adoption is an adoption arranged without any government or state involvement. We are available to act as Florida adoption entities and handle all aspects of a legal adoption placement.

The private adoption process has changed dramatically over the last couple of decades, and provides a greater amount of openness and communication than ever before. Adoptive parents and birth parents meet and share information before the child’s birth, and agree to continue contact after the child’s placement. Communication in each adoption is essential to the child’s best interests and to the individual comfort and ease of both parties.

Private Adoption – Adopting Without an Agency

Some adoptive families wonder if they are able to adopt without using an adoption agency – and the answer is yes!

In fact, only two professionals are required to legally complete a domestic adoption: a home study provider and an adoption attorney.

These types of adoptions without an agency are known as “private adoptions” or “independent adoptions,” and they are intended for adoptive families...

Private Adoptions

The private adoption process can be a wonderful way to bring together loving families wishing to raise a family with a child in need. However, there are many legal ramifications of the decision to adopt, and the legal procedure can be complicated.

disagree  Daryo: the "private" part relates to the parent(s) [=> the adoption is the parent's "private business"] it doesn't mean that the agency would be a private agency - there might not be even any "agency" involved!
