open adoption isn't so open anymore

I am a Bmom with an open adoption, however I only wanted pics and letter communication until she turned 18. I am one of very few bmoms who was very determined to make this decision especially with the parents I was able to choose. They are great to her and still wouldn't change it for the world, however I haven't received anything for over 5 years. I am unable to contact them directly and have to go through the agency, however it seems each time I call they tell me there isn't anything in the folder they will call the aparents but never return my call and kept giving me the run around.
After a year I was finally able to talk to someone who told me that she was fine, her new brothers bparents send her presents for all holidays, there are always pics for the bparents for him and they can't tell me why there aren't any for me.
I asked the lady there if they had recieved what I had sent and they said they haven't received anything for a long time and that they are comfortable with the way things are. She hung the phone up, of course I called back, but to get her saying to stop calling.
Can they legally do that? Just stop all communication and not give any of my letters and not send any pics as stated in the agreement?
My heart is broken because I am so very happy with the decision I made, but for everyone to treat me like I'm some kind of villian is just not right.
