Couldn't agree more Brenda.

I think it's good to start a dialog in the general public about open adoptions so that people will lose some of their misconceptions.
However I saw the first episode last week and it was much more focused on the paps and their emotions than the emom/bmom although they showed some about her as well.
I am all over anything related to adoption but truthfully I thought it was boring and overdramatized. Especially the adopting mom and her continuous crying. I guess that makes good ratings.

I saw one episode and I will NOT watch another. It could have been done alot differently and made a better impact then to just have the birthmom "not know she was pregnant" thing it seemed to have.
