Well, in spite of my protest, my wife insisted I watch.

In reality, a good examination of the issues relating to forming an open adoption. We worked through similar issues and ended up in a differnt place.

For my wife and I anyway, several times they hit very close to home in the sense that we saw things that we also went through during our adoption processes. I brough back some painful memories.

Things are bad. I don't need to tell you things are bad all over. I don't want you to write letters to you Congressman, I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. But I do know I am MAD AS HE11 and won't take it anymore...So stick your head out the window and yell "I am mad as he11 and won't take it anymore."

and to think that some of you guys argue against abortion. In this case it was warranted.

For Barbara and the producers that is...

Todd,

The show was ok, the idiots who wrote the promo's really missed the boat and took a very difficult topic and tried to turn it into a reality show promo. Shame on them!

As I said before, my wife and I investigated open adoption and we lived many of the scenes you saw there. The only part we did not have was where we actually saw the other parents we were competing against.

It is quite true that the birthmother has a huge influence on selecting the adoptive family. The scene of her reviewing the booklets by the families is all too real.
