Though the timeframes are rough, it is interesting that open adoptions began happening in the 60's. The same time that abortion was being argued in different states. This was a time when people were starting to understand the implications of the current system of treating women.
So there's my answer. While legalization of Open Adoption was not necessarily the result of Roe v. Wade the frequency of this type of adoption may have been supported by the fact that women had other choices than to blindly give up their child.
