A well done documentary on open or closed adoption would be wonderful - this is not that show when the promotions clearly state how 4 couples will be the losers (not quoted but the general gist)

I agree with the poster who wrote

"My husband works in the TV industry and one thing I have learned, the more attention the promo's get, weather negative or positive, the more people will watch. They actually are looking to stir up a hornest nest to up viewer turnout. TV stations DO aim for shock value to get more people to watch. The more upset people are about it, the more they talk, the greater the buz, the more people will tune into it."


Shock TV makes for great ratings - overall I am not sure they would get the desired ratings if this show was a "well done" documentary. There should be no losers or winners associated with this show. I cannot believe Ms. Walters would associate herself with a reality survivor esque type adoption show... It is disgusting - I for one will not be watching.... I have also emailed ABC and told them how disgusting I think their idea is.
