I think open adoption is still too recent to have real studies about it. I was looking everywhere 2 years ago and didn't find anything, just first hand experiences, good or bad (although the bad were often someone they know who has a child in an OA if you catch my drift).

But yeah I agree it must be a generation thing, my MIL is really glad we don't have an OA... Just that we worked on a profile and that birthmoms choose the adoptive parents shocked her to no end. She doesn't get why we must send pictures and write letters either.

We can just hope new generations will be more open minded...
