I would not let the visitation happen in my home again due to past experiences of bio parents driving by my house after rights were terminated etc. If you are in a small town or have older children chances are good that they will tell the parent where they are currently living. It is good to be clear with DCS and the parent what you will allow and what not. Our bioparents started calling us at 11:30 at night to change pick up times or cancel visits after they had out telephone number. You can always turn the answering machine on after 9pm at night and make it clear phone privaleges will be terminated if it is abused. With older children I like the idea of speaker phones. You just have to have reasonable, but clear rules about where they can meet (park, mc donalds) , when they can call and how long the phone call can last etc.
