I know it's still very early in the process, but I'm just trying to navigate this whole OA thing. Like a lot of you, we didn't get a whole lot of guidance, it was just "whatever you all are comfortable with". The placing agency seems to favor semi-open (pictures/letters periodically) and that was initially what we were comfortable with. But then we met the birthmom, hit it off fine, and we agreed that phone calls would be nice.

So anyway, baby is 3 months old now, and I've called her a few times. She always sounds pleased to hear from us, but it's always me calling. Something happened where she didn't receive the pictures I had sent, (still don't know what happened, suspect the packages were stolen), and she was supposed to call me with her new address. I wait a couple weeks, she doesn't call. I reprinted all the pictures, and then called her yesterday, but got voicemail. Now I don't know if I should just wait for her to call, or give it another week or so and then call again.

If she isn't up for or doesn't want to talk to me, I understand. I'm not sure if she does want to talk, but isn't big on making the phone call, or if she's trying to give me a hint.
