The term "open" or "semi-open" is not recognized by law, so any agreement you come to with your child's adoptive family is between the two of you. Should you, or they, not uphold your shared agreement together on either side, the court system can do nothing about it. So, legally speaking, there is really no such thing as an "open adoption."
However, there are so many thousands of hopeful adoptive families out there that are willing, honest, loving, and loyal and who have done their research and understand adoption at its core both from their perspective, their soon to be child, and yours! These families will understand that the dynamics of placement require an open communication.
My best advice to you is to do a lot of research and don't be afraid to ask the tough questions! You owe it to your own healing and to your future relationships with your birth child's adoptive family and to your child!
I wish you the very best!
