I don't know if there is a "normal". Our agency called and told us we were matched, and gave us our emom's number. They said that we were free to talk or meet as much or little as we wanted.

Our emom is about 150 miles from us, so our time together has to be planned. After talking regularly (almost daily) for a couple of weeks, we have drove down to meet her and brought her back to visit some of her friends (a friend drove her back the next week). While she was near us, we went on a double date with her and her boyfriend. I also drove down and took her to a Dr. appointment, then lunch and to run errands one day last week. I am also planning on taking her to her other appointments (she doesn't have transportation and could use the support). From what I understand this is much more contact then most families have, but it is working for us! I am enjoying the time we spend together and hope that we are laying the foundation for better communication later.
