So are any of you watching the show and wondering if the plot is leading to adoption? I usually don't relate much to fictional characters, but I cried when young Amy found out she was pregnant and cried when her schoolmates where so cruel and when she told her mother. I just hope the creators of this show deal with the subject fairly and don't propose short term solutions for such a complicated situation.
I do like the fact that they portray Amy, the pregnant girl, as relatively normal and a little naïve. I think many of us were like her in many ways but society cast us as the bad girls. I am sure the outcome in the series will not reflect reality if adoption is introduced, but one can hope.
Have any of you watched the new series so far. What do you think?

I think the show is interesting. I think that adoption and possible birthmother or even single parents are becoming a trend it seems. I mean we have juno, we have movies on lifetime about young teens and pregnancy now we get a tv seris. I do like the show and i don't know if the adoption topic will come up or not. I think its interesting how these girls know who got her pregnant yet still go to him like a moth to a flame. Just shows how pretty navie you can be at 16 or even 18 how you thought you knew it all. anyways just wanted to reply and say yes i would like to see how this develops.

I really like the show for a few reasons. It gives parents of teens lots of conversation starters for their teens, plus it shows foster parents in a good light. I also like the end where they encourage parents and teens to talk about sex.

If my girls were older, I'd make them watch it with me, but since they're 2 and 4, I watch by myself.

As a b-mom who got pregnant in high school, continued to go to school with the same type of people Amy does, oh, and having the same name, this show hits home!!
