Sesame Street Adoption Episodes

Just stopping by from another board to let everyone know that Sesame Street will be celebrating National Adoption Month by airing 2 episodes on Nov 6th and 7th at 10am eastern time, in which the Gina character travels to Guatemala to adopt a baby boy. This should be especially interesting to all you folks adopting from Guatemala

Thanks for sharing. Have my Tivo set as I will be in Guatemala visiting my little girl. I think the Wed 11/8 episode also has the baby on it based on what my Tivo schedule pulled back.

Thank you, I run a family day care and I've been preparing them for when our little boy comes home, but they still have so many questions. This is awesome! Also, I've passed it along to family member with small children who have been asking a lot of questions. Thank you very much. My Tivo is set!

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could record it for me??? we are military overseas and I'm not sure when we will get to see it. both my little ones love sesame street (both elmo crazed) I know they would love it (my little girl is still talking about when we went to Guatemala).
I would gladly pay for the vhs tape and for shipping (our address is still considered stateside shipping, goes thru NY).
if anyone can do it...please pm me.

thank you so much,
Chris
(Germany)
