((((((((((shudder)))))))))))) I cannot see how an agency could keep thier license if they did this. Further more, cannot fathom WHY they would do this. I mean open adoption is for the CHILD, not the bmom or the aparents (although it does have postitives for them also). So I just don't see how someone could SAY they wanted open but then "not". I know everyone's idea of open adoption is different, but to SAY visits and then have no contact knowingly?? BLECH.

Agree, think, be honest, DO NOT over-promise, but RESEARCH. You are entitled to change your mind at this stage!!
