What sounds reasonable in an open adoption - I.e. how much contact is do-able?
Again, this isn't a subject I feel very qualified to speak on, nor do I think every situation fits any one piece of advice. Some families can allow a lot of involvement easily. Others end up very limited or feel the need to stop almost completely. I think it's a wide range, and that's okay. From pictures and short updates once or twice a year, all the way to periodic visits and invitations to important events, I think they can all work. It depends on the adoptive parents, the birth parent(s), and the child.
