I didn't find a.com till after we had to work through the first issues in our OA with BMom. I am kind of glad that I didn't. We have a contract for a semi-open and are working our way through an OA for our daughter.
IMHO OA is what each triad member makes of it. Regardless of how you set up or work your OA if it works, don't break it. As I have said in other posts, there are bumps in the road for all relationships and there will be bumps in an OA too.
If everyone who was deciding whether to participate in an OA only got their info from one source like this one, I am not sure OA's would be happening as much as I hear they are. I can say that the hardest part about an OA is that there is no counseling or training to be prepared for an OA. There is nothing really that agencies do to help triad members navigate through OA's or at least our agency didn't.
So I am not really sure OA's are misrepresented. IMO they are not represented enough to be misrepresented.
Just my opinion.
