&lt;br /&gt;
That is a great idea to have someone neutral set up a schedule. If I don&#039;t hear from Birth mom, I usually don&#039;t call. I&#039;ve always put it in her court to call me. It seemed that if she wanted to know what was happening, she&#039;d call, and she does! We talk about once per week except for a few times when she has missed calling for a week or two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll only call her if I know ahead I can&#039;t get together, like if my week is busy or I&#039;m on vacation.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its eye opening reading the posts from &#039;the other side&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks&lt;br /&gt;
I never thought about her expecting ME to call HER.  hummm...</description>
