Amberl10: I think a lot of aparents start out on their journey with EXACTLY the same thoughts you're having. Once an adoption is finalized, then it's extremely unlikely that a birthparent could "take the child back"---that's a myth perpetuated by LIFETIME movies. Also, open adoption isn't co-parenting. As you research and read these boards, you'll begin to see how the relationships form. Just keep an open mind and read more about it. If you still don't want an open arrangement, then be honest about it. There are expectant mothers who want closed adoptions, too. There are plenty of benefits to open arrangements, but only if the parties really want them.
