[quote=Anonymous]The range of open adoption spans from an annual letter all the way to co-parenting. We send an e-mail update, with photos, to the BM and the BGM twice a year for each of our two kids. My wife would have preferred closed adoption, but the reality is that its difficult to adopt unless you willingly agree to open adoption. After that its just a case of deciding what you're comfortable with on the scale. The BM of our two kids has mental health issues and a rocky relationship with her own mother. They would separately ask for updates, frequently and sometimes within days of each other. Providing updates on their schedules became quite stressful. The advice we got from our social worker was to tell the BM and BGM that from now there would be two updates a year. Its been a lot easier since then and its still open adoption.[/quote]
