As soon as I heard Gabby's comments I KNEW that it would be a topic if discussion here!
Sadly, I think that her comments are what SOME people actually think about the process...
have any of you had people assume that your child's birthmom was a teenager just because she placed the child for adoption? SO many people who aren't directly involved in the process have all sorts of assumptions about birthmothers and the process. When Gabby speaks on that show - she is often the voice of uneducated, people with stereotypical reasoning. If you have watched the show for very long, you've heard her make comments about nuns, mother-in-laws, teenage gardeners, and anyone else she can get her hands on.
Maybe this story line will make someone think twice when they make assumptions about birthmothers or adoptive parents, or the children. I sure hope so!
It will be interesting to see how this all works out, until then, I will watch with an open mind and even let myself chuckle when Gabby says something off the wall!
I am enjoying hearing other people's opinions, but I hope we can all agree not to take it so seriously!
Just my dos quetzales!
Oh - and Grey's Anatomy is wayyyy more worth my time than DH anyday! Although last night it was repeatedly interrupted with tornado warnings - I hope I didn't miss anything important!!
