I didn't have an OA, but even in corresponding through semi-open, it would be hard of me to ask anything of the aparents. I think it's because I felt I would be perceived as "making demands" (even if this wasn't the case at all) or that I was somehow being intrusive. Also, the fear of them saying no, perhaps, would keep me from being assertive in this way. Plus, when I relinquished, the fact that I was terminating all rights got drummed in so much that I felt I really couldn't ask much of anything.
