My aunt told me I'd regret open adoption after 5 years, and Sunday marked year 6 with zero regrets
She was dead set that staying in touch would be too painful, but getting a birthday card from his adoptive mom with a school photo inside felt more like a gift than a wound, has anyone else had relatives give you bad advice about contact that they swore would destroy you?

Just set clear boundaries early and it stays manageable for everyone involved.

Three weeks in and I already had to have one of those awkward "hey remember when I said x" conversations. It's wild how fast things can get messy if you don't lock it down early.
