Our agreement at the time of placement was "semi-open" - pix and letters at set intervals. Over time, our relationship has completely opened up. We've only had a couple of visits in five years simply because of geography, but we share phone calls and emails - not as regularly now as in the beginning. I think that's largely due to the girls' birthmom having had two more children and her life changing a great deal.
In my mind, it's become a lot like extended family - you love 'em dearly but only get together occasionally and are in contact on a hit and miss kind of basis.
