Foster parent contact with birth mom

I started out with a similar problem with birth mom. She refused to speak to me at all except to criticize something I had/had not done. (didn't send pacifier after mom hadn't seen baby in 2 1/2 months) (didn't matter that baby quit using pacifier 2 months before) Having a son of my own I couldn't understand why she didn't want to know how her daughter was doing in between visits. It was very obvious that she felt I was the reason she didn't have custody. I tried to keep her updated her even if she didn't ask but she adamantly ignored me. So, I just kept talking so that she couldn't say I never told her. Our visit supervisor would document this. It wasn't until this past February (the third time visits were restarted) that mom finally started asking questions. We are at TPR and mom is supposedly consenting to adoption if her requests for an open adoption will be met. But that's another thread.
