Question Questions for Birthmothers

After watching the show on 20/20 I am a little worried about open adoptions. I have no problem exchanging pictures, letters or emails. I don't know about visits 1-2 times a year. I would like to stay in contact so that when the child is older he/she can contact bmom if they want to. I think that it would be to weird having the bmom around to much. Also, when Jessica wanted to name him. I don't want to sound insensitive to bmoms in any way but, she gave these parents this baby for them to raise as their own, but she wanted to name him. I already have a name (first and lmiddle) for a girl, and I would want to be able to name her that. But it comes off as selfish if I were to say "I already picked a name" How would you suggest aparents handle this situation? And do you think it is right for a bmom to ask to name him/her?
