Chiming in late in the game - but this was my first thought. Maybe she really doesn't know what open adoption is and what it entails. I think your best bet is to direct her to the resources that will help explain all that open adoption is. After that she still might choose to only keep in contact via pictures and letters. But like you said, she might be considering more contact in the future. Which I hope is the case. Now, she might not even realize that she can have more than pictures and letters. Maybe she isn't sure she can handle more, but maybe once the baby is born she might change her mind.
I haven't read the whole thread yet, so, I apologize if these questions/thoughts have been addressed already.
