Yes, the adoption is finalized. They told me they wanted no contact at the time they signed the papers. I told them I was always open to contact and gave them my email address if they changed their mind about contacting us. They said they thought they could "get over it" but realized that they can't pretend he doesn't exist. I felt like they were presenting me with their best case on why I should return him (because they are his parents, he is better off with his real family, they had him longer than I did, his grandparents want him in the family, etc).
I'd really like to make it work because I think they are good people. I'm just not sure that without counseling that they'll be able to hold it together during phone calls and learn to be appropriate when speaking to me.
