Saya - I don't have any experience in OA (or IA) but I have often wondered about this topic. Yes, there may be cultural differences but I can't believe the need to know that your child is safe, well cared for, and growing up well is unique to domestic birthmom's.
Now I may be TOTALLY off base on this and please correct me if I am but I have gathered from reading some threads here (a.com) that many, not all (you for example) adoptive parents wanted a more closed adoption and decided IA was best for their family...
I wonder if the agencies play into that thought process. I might go so far as to call it a stereotype and therefore do not encourage OA.
