We are also not going to hear on the forum from the bioMoms that have been content with that choice.

I do not know where you got your statistics, but there is no national record of these type of statics. There is currently a longitudinal study on openness in adoption that has been going on for the past 15 years. It has worked with over 35 agencies across the US. They have found closed adoption to be decreasing quickly and considerably.
I think it also depends on the agencies and the education that expectant parents receive. Which two agencies are you refering to?
