If you’re not comfortable with unsupervised visits, let them know. Would you be ok with supervised visits?
I have to say, even in domestic infant adoptions, where a mutual respect and friendship has blossomed, I’ve never heard of unsupervised visits in an legally binding open adoption…the whole concept seems crazy to me…this isn’t a co-parenting type situation. Is it possible that you are misunderstanding the caseworkers suggestion?
Before you make a decision, you should ask her exactly what she means…Is it unsupervised or supervised? How will the agreement be worded in the legal document? Who will supervise? What does “visit” mean…an hour, two hours…the day…over night?
I’d find out more information before making the decision about this.
