HI. I had wanted a semi-open adoption with my birthson, Joseph, who will be 11 next week. I did pick and meet the adoptive parent, and when I did, I asked that they send me a picture/update once a year, or more if possible. Well, I got 2 pictures when he was about 5 months old, but that was IT. I really hate that. If they didn't want to send pictures/updates, they should've just said no. I think they were affraid I would've chosen someone else(I may very well have, don't know). I know the town they live in and that they changed his name, but other than that, i don't know anything! The agency I used either changed names or went out of business(they are no longer in the yellow pages or in a web search I did), so I have no way of finding anything out. I think it's wonderful that you're willing to work with the birthparents, but unfortunately, not all adoptive parents are
