For those of you who are upset and have heard about the ABC News show 20/20 airing an open adoption segment by using the reality crazy to promote it, go to

Here's what I wrote:
Dear 20/20 Staff,
I am very disappointed with the show that will be airing this Friday on open adoption. My husband and I have been trying to adopt openly for the past year and have had 3 birthmothers change their minds. This is a very personal and private process that should be kept between the birthmother, adoptive couple, the agency and lawyer handling the adoption. Although the idea of getting information to the public of how open adoption works is a good idea, filming the couples and putting a spin on "competition" is WRONG! I will not be watching your program in the future.
Sincerely,
S.
