I'm an amom in an open adoption and I have to say there are some big ol' red flags here.

The list suggestion was excellent. And KellyStacy (good name, btw!) if this isn't the one for you, have the strength to walk away. I know -- believe me, I know -- how hard that would be. But think about that child later in life. Do you want his/her bmom to forever be wishing she'd had more? Eventually secrets come out and if she feels like she was deceived or manipulated, you WILL pay a price -- the respect of your child.

I also really applaud you for coming here, being honest, and listening to the feedback you're getting. It's not easy, is it?
