Frankly, if he is a grown man and knows when the annual agency picnic is scheduled, I don't think a failure on your part to call and make sure he's coming (which is how I took your post) constitutes breaking your agreement.

We also have to initiate all the contact w/ our birthfather, so I understand your frustration. I also agree that he has to take some responsibility for the relationship, but I don't think the answer is for you to stop trying. I look at it this way---it is best for my child to keep those lines of communication open, and I can only control what I do. I can't make him respond, and I can't tell with any certainty why he does what he does. What I can do is keep up my end. I will always be able to look my son in the eye and say that we did everything we could.
