Question open adoption contact?

Saturday dh and I meet A's birthmother. This will be an open adoption with continued contact. I would like suggestions on appropriate amounts of contact and ideas on how to do it.

We live 6 hours away, so visits aren't going to be frequent for sure. Currently A is receiving weekly phone calls and once a month visits.

I suggested phone calls at Christmas, birthday, and birthmother's day and a visit once a year, letters anytime. I think they are expecting more than that and we're flexible but at the same time this is an adoption, not a foster care.

I would really appreciate input!
