I agree - being presented as just a wonderful thing for everyone isn't realistic.
I'm glad some of you understood what I was saying in my OP - and yes I was strictly talking from an aparent point of view looking at open adoption.....
I remember when I was reading on OA - I came across a book (given to me by an adoption professional - nothing to do with agency/placement) It really freaked me out. It was talking about equal involvment from birthparents - alot of talk about birthparents maintaining parenting type roles.....that sort of thing
anyhoo - if that were the only thing I had read, there is no way I would have agreed to an open adoption. It was just waaaaay in the extreme world of OA.
It just seems sometimes there is too much of the extreme represented......good and bad.
Sometimes I think the middle ground view gets lost...
Thanks for "getting" what i meant.
