Kelly,
How you and I view things is not very politically correct on these forums. You'll always get responses that basically say you cannot feel the way you do. That's just how it is.
I, too, had a great adoption experience in the 'closed' era. I agree with your assertion that open adoption, while presented as best for the child, is really more like best of the birth parents. In fact, I can say with complete honesty that it would not have been good for me. We adopted a newborn domestically in a closed adoption because we believe this is what's best for the child. DD's birth mother agreed with us.
I guess I just wanted you to know that you are not alone in your beliefs.
