Blakesnewface, I run an Open Adoption Support site where people can ask anonymous questions about their particular situations and get encouragement and advice from all members of the adoption constellation. Adoptive parents and birth parents in various kinds of open adoptions (semi-open, fully open, foster-to-adopt) will respond. It’s a good way to see some common issues and also to get feedback from people who have been there done that.
Anyone can ask a question. They are submitted without any identifying information and I post them to the group. Browsing the questions, too, can be enlightening. The biggest issues I see from people on the board is that many want a more open adoption than their children’s other parents do (that’s true of both birth parents AND adoptive parents) and also people struggle with boundaries. That’s why good communication is important and also finding mentors, which is why a site like this is so great. We have a fully open adoption and my friends whose kids are older have been SO IMPORTANT to me as we’ve grown. So it’s great your reaching out here at the start of your journey!!
There are a handful of good books about open adoption but most of them are dated. Fortunately a very recent book is now out called Making Room In Our Hearts by Micky Duxbury and it is excellent. You might want to check it out—it is very encouraging and not all rainbows & lollipops like some of the earlier books can be.
Good luck to you!
