‘I’m Having Their Baby’ Oxygen Docu-Series on Adoption

Interestingly enough, the day I sit down to write about the new show I’m Having Their Baby, a new docu-series on Oxygen, I hear some good news about our own adoption process. I knew the day would eventually come when I would hear from our social worker that we have a potential referral (matched with a child), but I never knew the overwhelming feelings that would come as we live out each part of this emotional process and get one step closer to our son.

As a (future) adoptive Mother, I love all adoption stories because I understand the act of adoption. I’m in it.

The process is so powerful, heartbreaking, unpredictable, joyous and exciting. It’s a roller coaster of emotions and I think adoption is often misunderstood, mainly because people just aren’t exposed to it enough.

There are so many different facets of adoption and that is part of the reason I’m choosing to blog our journey and the reason I’m looking forward to the I’m Having Their Baby premiere (July 23 at 11PM ET/PT). It shows us the perspective of the selfless act of adoption by the birthmother, which is a side that is often not seen.
