I used to think open adoption was just a way for agencies to make people feel better, but meeting my son's family last month changed my mind.

Honestly that meeting could just be a good show they put on. The real test is years down the road when things get hard or awkward. It still sets up a really complicated family situation for the kid.

People love a good show for the cameras. It's easy to be nice when everyone's watching and things are new. The real mess starts when the newness wears off and real life kicks in.

Three years from now someone's gonna forget to bring snacks to a birthday party and suddenly the whole "we're all family" thing gets real quiet. You think someone's keeping score of how many holidays each side gets?
