Trudi, the trend today is certainly towards more open adoptions than in years past, but it is really up to you as well as the birth mother, or birth parents, as to how open that arrangement need be. All communication between you and the birth mother can be conducted through your attorneys, once the adoption has taken place. With independent adoption, there is huge variation on this issue, based on what is comfortable for all involved. Best, best of luck to you!
