Yes, I know it can happen in int'l too, but at least when your home, your home. I could never rest knowing the ** may be lurking around the corner...I know there are laws, and some states are better than others...but STILL!

AmySue,

Wow! Your post is incredibly offensive. Birthmother LURKING around the corner? This show was about a CON ARTIST!! It was about how a woman, who had already conned her first husband, figured out how to con some more people. It wasn't about how potential birthmothers are all criminals. There are laws in every state which make fraudulent acts unlawful. You know, there are incidents of adoptive parents committing fraud when obtaining "their child." Are you upset about that? What about the potential adoptive parents who are lurking around pregnant women, trying to pressure them to relinquish? That happens too. Are you upset about that??

Please - let's not take one show about a criminal and use it as a reason to support your biases. Oh, and use of the intials B and M for birthmother are considered offensive by many in this forum - that is the reason they are automatically starred out. You can refer to the Acronomys link at the top of this page if you want more information on acceptable abbreviations to use.
