As far as "My Wife and Kids", Damon Wayans, from what I have read, bases the show somewhat on his life and experience as a parent and the teen pregnancy storyline is actually something from his life (his teenage son and his girlfriend were pregnant IRL).

I watched SVU and while I always cringe at how adoption is portrayed by the media, it didn't really *shock* me. SVU is always gruesome and extreme. I didn't take it so much that it was a story about adoption, as much as it was a story about the sick minds out there and how disposable they think other races are (even the life of a child).
