I don't know what the agency has told her. I don't know if she even knows that we're in the same town and obviously for privacy reasons they can't tell me exactly what part of town she lives in. Our agency only does semi-open and closed, and they are very up front about that with PBM's and adoptive parents, so I'm positive she knows it will be semi-open.
I wonder about the "turn and run" impulse. To be honest, it would be my first thought, but the more I've thought about it, if she can handle it and be civil I can too. I don't want to go into this though if she's not aware that we live in this town. How horrible would it be if she was surprised to see us while she was still healing and grieving?
But, like I said there is no guarantee she'll choose us and it's a pretty big town so I don't think we would see each other. As the agency put it though, she would know what we look like and the photo updates we send would allow her to know what the child looks like too, so it is possible that we'd recognize each other at Wal-Mart.
