She promised me verbaly back in 1986-1987 to send me letters and photos of my son, and at 9mn of age she stopped saying she didn't feel like she could be a mother to the baby when she had to keep in contact with me. So she stopped. How heart breaking that is for me today and for the past 24 yrs. I was unselfish enough to give her something she could not do on her own, and she responded this way. How dare her. My advice to anyone going through an open adoption is to yes make sure you get any agreements in wrighting as I did not.
