After the 72 hours, they have no parental rights, all rights will belong to either the court or licensed agency that you are working with until your adoption is finalized 6 months later. I would have assumed that either your lawyer or SW would have explained this to you. Have you had your homestudy and everything so that this placement can occur?
On a personal note, I wouldn't freak out about the naming or visiting issue unless you were planing on having a closed adoption and have discussed this with the bparents. The young lady that we are matched with also wanted to help name the baby and wants to have visits. We all found a name that we all liked and have decided on that one. My partner and I picked the first name and she picked the middle name, so the little guy will have a name from both of us. It also helps that the same name will be on both birth certificates so that we don't have to deal with the "why did you change my name" issue later in life.
Just my two cents.
