Open Adoption

I have had a few questions about open adoption lately. Yes, we are open to an open adoption and we told them that several months ago. Yes, it scares me a little, but I prayed about this and have peace with this decision. It doesn't bother John at all. We are also fine with semi-open and closed adoptions. We didn't tell them we had any preference between the three. Our concern is first for our child and then for the birthparents, not ourselves. If the birthmom does not want any contact, that is fine, we respect her wishes. But if she'd like to hear from us or see her child sometimes, we can certainly understand that. Our agency does require that a yearly update (with photo) be sent in to them. So they have that on file if the birthparents want to see it. We are not wanting to be completely open. We do not want to give out our address or phone number, but we are fine with setting up an email address just for the birthmom to contact us with that wouldn't have our last name on it. We don't want her to come here, but we are fine with meeting up at an outside location, like the agency's office. We understand that this is a gut-wrenching decision for her and she may want to see Hannah sometimes just to know she made the right choice. If at some point, Hannah decides that she isn't comfortable with meetings, we'd stop. I think it might be nice to be able to ask questions, should we need to, especially those of a medical nature. It could also be a venue for ministry to the birthmother. We are just trusting that God in His sovereignty will bring us the child/situation that He wants us to have. And whoever that is and whatever the details are, He has a plan for it all and we want to be a part of it.
