First of all, congratulations!!
We also have an open adoption, but our DD's birth parents live about 50 minutes away from us. We met the birth parents a few times before DD's birth and were in the L & D when she was born! It was amazing.
DD's birth mom has my cell phone number and calls occasionally. We provide quarterly updates and pictures and have a yearly visit (we actually "on our own" had a visit when the baby was 6 weeks old).
Sometimes I actually wish we had MORE contact, though I can imagine it might feel a little odd that you guys will be in the same small town too. In any event, you will make it work! Good luck.
