Quick note: even if the adoptive family that is being considered has a current and working open adoption doesn't mean that everything will be hunky-dory. While it shows that they can make it work, there are so many factors that play into making EACH open adoption work. I've heard of families closing BOTH adoptions (different birthmothers) because on birthmother wasn't providing beneficial contact for the child.

It's hit or miss. And that's what sucks.
