I can tell you that "usually" there is a contract between the adoptive parents and the birth mom and birth dad if he is involved as to what the contact will be, how much and how often, photos? emails? personal visits... You should read my article in Root & Sprout's web site's December issue @ http://www.rootandsprout.com/20543/67901.html (scroll down the page halfway) to see my Q & A with a Birth Mom. Also, there is a great new book out, geared towards birth moms and what they go through called "So I Was Thinking About Adoption" by a woman named Mardie Cauldwell (NO Relation). I tell my adopting parents it is a MUST read. The bottom line is, the post adoption contact is a mutual responsibility and with good communication it can be revised as need be as the birth mom's life changes (she grows up, matures, gets involved in a new relationship or other such things) The key is flexibility and willingness to talk about your feelings. Hope this helps. Have you had any nibbles? Any updates? News?
