Well, DH and I are leaning towards semi open with no F2F until the child is at least in their preteens. Any advice on this one? We really aren't keen on adding complications to our lives by worrying about a bmom and her visitations, etc. We travel, have family all over the US and my sister just announced that her husband is pursuing a career path in his firm that may take them to London in the next 2-3 years.
Its entirely possible we will want to move from Utah back to my native state of Pennsylvania or Wisconsin (his birthplace). Is that really fair to offer 3-4 visits a year and then move on the bmom? No, I don't think so. I think it would be more fair to do semi open and then see if she's comfortable with the possibility of when the child is OLDER, complete open.
I guess its just going to be a tricky task of expressing that in our letter to the perspective bmoms at the agency.
