I'm butting in here from the Russian board -- hope you don't mind!

This show has actually been around for a long time -- back when we were going thru IF treatments (back in 2001-2002), I watched this show both years an it was what got my mind spinning about adoption. I missed the 2003 show, but watched it again in 2004. I missd it again this year.

It is a great show to highlight the needs of kids in the US who are in foster care -- and many are older kids, and sibling groups -- some of the hardest to place. However, I was very disappointed with it last year for a reason mentioned above: too much singing. It was more of a showcase for the singers than it was a show for adoption - and that was a major shift from the 2001/2002 shows I watched, to the 2004 show. It became a concert with some adoption stuff thrown in.

However, if it gets one family interested in adoption, I give it a thumbs up!
