Challenges in open adoption

I think the hardest thing for me is feeling like I can't voice my feelings. Don't get me wrong I love my open adoption, but sometimes I want more visits and things like that and I'm afraid to bring it up. I don't want to make them feel pressured. It gets a little bit stressful sometimes.

That's a rough part of a lot of open adoptions, I think: Even when the relationship is really good, the birth mom often feels like she needs to tiptoe to avoid being intrusive or becoming overbearing
