We live relatively close to DD's birth parents. We met in person three times before DD was born (twice with the SW, and once without (where we proceeded to make fun of the SW the whole night...whoops!)).
It was important for DD's birth parents to really get to know us, I think. And it was great for us to get to know them, and I think our pre-birth meetings have helped our open adoption experience because we "know" each other pretty well.
On the other hand, I think it is important not to try to "force" meetings...everyone is different!
Good luck!!
