I Tivo Adoption Stories, but I can only bring myself to actually watch it occasionally. It's soooo cheesy. That narrator's voice - ack, she always sounds like she's reading a story to a kindergarten class. We're adults! You don't have to use that voice!

But I do like to see the families and kids getting together. I especially like the ones that are similar to our situation - domestic open adoption (at least that's what we're planning). It gives me hope and, at the same time, reminds me it's not all sunshine and roses! And yet, at the end ... there's the happy family with their child, and it's all worth it.
