[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  Isn't it naive to think that over the years no one involved in the adoption is going to act on their curiosities?

We are on track to adopt a newborn next month.  I don't think we would be pursuing adoption if we were not comfortable with that possibility. Not saying what we would hope or not hope for, or what we would like or not like to happen.  But it is a real possibility and we understand that we will have to make decisions as these things arise in our lives. But to be surprised?

Adoption comes with a unique set of circumstances.  How can this be denied?[/quote]

Check in with us after you've had your child for several years, & then the birth mom wants to know your every move.[/quote]

You are missing the point of my post.

We talk directly with the birth mom regularly.  We have a signed contract saying we will send letters and pictures at regular intervals over the months, then years.  We have not exchanged any personal identifying information.  do I think there is a chance the birth parents will eventually ask for visit? Of course there is that possibility.  We will have the right to say no.  But, when our daughter is of a certain age we might reopen that discussion.  As I said, we might not want this to happen, but we are going into this knowing it is a very real possibility.  If we were not ok with that possibility we would not be pursuing adoption.[/quote]
