I would not be worried about not getting picked.There are always pbmoms out there who are not looking for open contact and that might be a perfect match for you. An open adoption is a life long decision. I would not agree to something you don't feel comfortable with. If anything agree to the minimum that you would want and if the relationship built from there and you wanted more contact than that is great but don't jump into more than what you feel comfortable with.
Open adoption is HARD WORK-Emotionally. Maybe it's just extra hard on me because of the special circumstances around our adoption....but it is something 1000% more difficult than I ever thought it could be.
If i had the opportunity to go back in time(knowing what i know now) I would definately have made some changes in the kinds of contact we had and the frequency of it from the very start.
(by the way I am LDS as well....but we adopted through fostercare instead) I hope you find your match!!!
