Oh, one more comment:

The risk of the bmom changing her mind is present no matter WHAT type of adoption you choose. You could choose closed, be matched, be told to pick your baby up from the hospital, never meet the bmom, and.... three days later, she could change her mind and decide to parent.

I am NOT TRYING TO SCARE ANYONE, but I am just trying to make the point that the level of openness in an adoption has nothing to do with the legal risk involved.
All domestic newborn adoptions are considered legal risk placements unless you a) live in a state without any revocation period, or b) do not bring the baby home until both parents have signed the papers AND the revocation period has elapsed.
