Fortunately, the honesty in this forum convinced her that her dream of open adoption is a myth that was hyped by the media.

My son's amom told me that if I was in town and wanted to stop by and they weren't out or busy then I could come over. Just to call first. She said once, that she had the rest of my son's life and so what would it hurt to let me see him when I wanted. Unfortunately we don't get a chance to stop by his town, but when we do we usually pop in at their house to say hi.
