This doesn't make any sense (not that the FC system is supposed to be logical). So if the bio parents want daily doctor appts and visits every day, then they get it? Really? It seems that they should be thankful for the time they are given, especially since someone else is caring for their child(ren). Now, with that said, the things the OP mentioned aren't that unreasonable, but if you give the bio parents everything they want, won't they want even more?
Lowlander-I would talk to your CW about having the bio mom get the portraits taken during her time. I just had my kids pics taken last Saturday and we were there for over 3 hours...not fun when you have multiple kids in tow.
