I know you specifically asked about closed, but we are in the middle, we have a semi-open. Where b-mom would know us only by first name and not location and there is no physical contact, we just send pics and letters twice a year for 18 years. But that is if she wanted it, however F wants nothing to do with any of it and it is only semi-open because our agency doesn't do closed.

What do you like best about being semi-open? We don't have to have physical contact and she doesn't know our location. I know she could find us if she really tried, but she won't.

What do you wish you could change? I wish I didn't have to send the letters and pics since she doesn't even pick them up and we never met her. She didn't even choose us, she gave birth walked out and let the agency do the rest and has made it clear she doesn't want to know anything. But it was an agreement and someday Drihan will get to have all of those for herself, so that is important

Would you still chose semi-open if you had an option? Yes, or even closed. But the circumstances surrounding my daughters conception,the pregnancy and birth are so horrible, I might feel differently if they were different.

What would you like people to know about semi-open? It is great if you still want some contact, but not too much.
