OA question

I am not sure if this is the right spot for this question, but as I am fairly new to the adoption scene and have been working w/ the foster system for 3 years my information is limited. I have also contacted a non-profit agency to look into adopting through them. My question is about what an open adoption actually looks like? From my limited knowledge, what we were told, and watching other adopt through the foster system my DH and I have been kind of scared of an OA. I would like to hear from real people that are living an OA so I would have a much more detailed and realistic view. I welcome any information. I hope to not sound like I don't think it is a good idea because that is not my belief I am just confused on how it actually works and would like to be educated. By the way I liked the comment about adoptive parents being educated w/ the first parents got counseling because it seems like both parties need educated and counseling.
