The commenters here are spot on and yes, this way of thinking takes adjustment. These people will be your child's family no matter what you do. Sometimes inlaws are a pain, you can't control your crazy mother/brother, and you can't control them. You can only control how you act and what boundaries you set.
HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Open-Hearted-Way-Open-Adoption-Helping/dp/1442217391
There is a book called The Open-Hearted Way to Adoption:Helping your Child grow up Whole by Lori Holden that I read while preparing for our homestudy that might be at least a little helpful. The agency really should have helped with talking over what both parties wanted open adoption to look like. Have they tried contacting the agency and they're not answering? I would be showing up on their door step, your friend paid for this help and they both deserve it.
