[quote=Anonymous]We have an open adoption and I will say open adoption only works with reasonable rational people and the adults on both ends making the effort, especially with young kids. We consider our child's birth mom's family our family and they consider us their family/grandparents consider us their kids. We talk to them every week and I send pictures, videos, etc. anywhere from every day to every week. We Skype weekly at a set time. They visit and stay in our home with us for weeks at a time. Birthfather/his family are a nightmare and I hope never to see them again (they stopped contacting us thank goodness). If is far easier to know than not know. We don't ever have to worry about them trying to take our child or sabatoging us as parents. Our child is very secure in knowing the family history and how supportive they are and how much they love all of us. Its a great situation for us, and for them. But, we also tell them everything - good and bad and don't keep any secrets. [/quote]
