Hello, I need your advice. We are matched with an emom due in December. She lives in the next state over from us. We have called her a few times and have plans to go meet her next week. We set up a 1-800 number exclusively for her so she could call us whenever she wanted. She told her SW that she wanted me to call her Everyday to check on her. The SW told her she could call us whenever she wanted but she said she wanted to see me "make the effort" She has never called us. Does this sound strange to you? Have any of you demanded that the PAPS called you every day? What could be her motivation for this? I wouldn't mind calling once or twice a week and I wouldn't mind her calling me. She has another child that she is parenting. I would like to build a relationship with her so that our child will know his birthmom and his birthsibling. I don't think her demanding me to call her every day is conducive to a relationship though. The SW assured me that she knows that I am adopting the baby and not her. She supposedly understands that I will not be calling her everyday once the baby is born. I hope this is true and I will discuss it with her when we meet her next week. I think she is being unreasonable. Am I missing something? If you could help me try to understand where she may be coming from that would be appreciated.
