Thanks so much for the link! I agree with what the psychologists and social workers had to say. Contact really should be in the best interests of the child, and not if it's too difficult for either set of parents. However, foster adoptions are a whole other story. There are instances where contact beyond pictures and letters isn't a good idea, to put it delicately. A parent, with whatever modifier you need to use, needs to think about their child's safety first. Our adoption was a little different in that School Girl was placed with us as a 6-week-old infant. Right now my frustration isn't with too much contact, but there's nothing I can do about that.
