I think OA is misrepresented when it's marketed as a "win-win-win" situation.

It's not about winning at all.

Yet it seems agencies push OA as, "birthmoms know their kids okay so they can move on and HEAL!"

I think OA is misrepresented to get people to sign on for it....yes, I think OA is awesome and is the way to go, but I don't think it helps ANYONE (aparent, bparent, eparent, or child) to not be realistic about it's challenges AND it's rewards.
