How do the open adoptions work?

Can someone tell me what is the most common type of open adoption is where the bparent wants to be involved in the child's life? Do the adoptive parents tell the child early on that the bparent is a friend or do they say this is your bparent? What works best for young children? I understand that at some point the truth must be told,but what age is best? 18 seems way to old but 5 seems too young. What seems to work the best when the bparent wants to be involved however not be the main parent?
