She had every right to ask for more after your agreement.... if you were uncomfortable with what she asked for... you should have said as much so that she could find a couple who was NOT uncomfortable with it. Since you agreed, she did not have the opportunity to choose a family to fit what she discovered that she needed.

I will say that my daughters mom and I talk mostly about "stuff" when we talk on the phone and rarely about our daughter. That comes in the letter/pictures that she sends me 3 times a year.

As for the 1 visit a year... was the 4 months later still within the first year... perhaps she meant calendar year not the year being marked at the child's birthday....

You keep talking about your agreement before she even met her child.... how could she know what she would need at that point? It sounds like before the paperwork was all taken care of she made provisions for what she felt she needed and you agreed... so the blame is not soley on her shoulders.

And just remember about you agreeing to phone calls without knowing if you like her... well she chose you to PARENT her child without knowing "if she likes you"... so she probably deserves a little more respect than this .. "It's so hard because you agree to terms without even knowing whether you really like eachother"... after all.. she doesnt have the chance to rethink her decision and the chance she took on you was much deeper than a few unwanted phone calls...
