Last year I posted about a new series on Oxygen about adoption called I’m Having Their Baby. We were just getting started with the adoption process at that time and now almost one year later we are still waiting for our kids.
When you become involved in adoption you feel connected to all adoptive parents no matter if they adopted domestically, internationally or through the foster care system. Many of us adoptive parents go through the same experiences, have the same feelings, and go through the same issues while both waiting for our children and as they grow up. These commonalities are what draw adoptive parents together and are what initially drew me to the docu-series.
But what’s interesting about this series is that it provides an intimate and emotional look at adoption by telling the often-untold story through the eyes of the birth mother. Behind every adopted child is a birth mother and it’s a different perspective to share with the world about adoption. This is a powerful resource for everyone to learn more about adoption and the emotional roller coaster it is for everyone involved.
Oxygen created a web-series, “I’m Having Their Baby: Raising Baby” to revisit some of the families we met in season one.
