it would be nice to win
I wish to win too..and I am so lukin’ forward to seeing the show!
Good luck to everyone and hoping I win too because then I would have enough for that Kindle Fire I have been saving up for!
I sure can use the extra cash as well. I am saving to purchase an Ipad3
I am also saving for an iPad3.
Yes, good luck to everyone!
Goodness I think we all want to win, lol. So congratulations to whomever wins!
I’m very much looking forward to the show coming on tonight!
I know Patty!! Me too! I’ve already told my guy to go play his guitar somewhere and let me watch my new show! LOL!!!:) He’s been teasing me about wanting to see this but it’s all in good fun!
LOL; tell him to come play his guitar over here, and my lady can watch with you!
I will probably wait before watching this. I would like to see what other think of the show first.
I am also looking forward to this show. Sounds like it should be very interesting and educational at the same time.
I have a feeling this show will open up a lot of off-camera discussions about adoption.
I plan to watch the show also.
usually i am not a big fan of reality tv, however i am looking forward to this show. Its going to be heart wrenching to see the mothers and fathers make the decisions but also uplifting to know their children will be going to couples that otherwise wouldnt be blessed with a child.
I agree. Reality tv has gotten so unreal and not true to life it’s crazy. This is a nice change of pace. Thumbs up Oxygen channel.
ur so right
I agree. I can’t imagine having to make the choice to put your baby up for adoption. You never know what someone elses life is like, so you can’t question their choicec.
I love reality TV when it’s good and this looks like a great show. I may have to get my cable back just to watch this show. LOL
I agree this show is definitely going to be emotional!
I agree as well….reality tv is soooo scripted and fake, oxygen is definitely coming with something worth watching and I will make sure that I have my Kleenex nearby because it is sure to be a tearjerker
You definitely called that one! It’s probably going to be hard for me to watch because I’m such an emotional person, but I think it’s a good show that’s going to educate a lot of people.
Agreed. My best friend gave up her son 20 years ago. I was there when she handed him to the adoptive parents. Very emotional.
I agree with you, Sheila. It wold be absolutely heart wrenching to see birth parents giving up their child but also heart warming to see the happiness of the couples who are lucky enough to be blessed with a baby.
I know exactly what you mean, but I hope that this show will be done in good taste. I am hopeful that a show like this will be helpful to people who cannot have children, and are seriously considering adoption.
I agree; it’s about time reality tv did something besides Survivor type shows!!! Can’t wait to watch this show!!! :)
I know, I am looking forward to it too!
Nice contest!
YES DAN THIS IS SUCH A WONDERFUL CONTEST I HOPE I AM LUCK TO WIN… :-)
adoption is such a beautiful thing!…may god bless all the parents and their beautiful adopted lil ones!
Adoption is a beautiful thing. I would encourage people to look into it as an option.
I would love to adopt
There are plenty of kids right here in the US waiting and longing for forever families!
I think it’s wonderful that there are people who are willing to adopt, and hope this show will bring that option into discussion for many others as well.
Adoption is such a wonderful gift.
So true. :)
Yes it is. Some say it is a gift to the person being adopted…but having an adopted little sister myself, it is truly a gift to ME to have her as my sister!
Yes, I agree! =)
very nice post! We have friends who have adopted children and it’s amazing how it changes the lives of both the adopting family and the adopted children! My friend adopted a child who was over 6 years old – for older children, it’s difficult to get adopted since most families prefer adopting infant/young babies. But it was a blessing for both my friend and the kid!
i always thought older kids had no chance that good to know they do :)
There are so many older children who would love to be a part of a family. I’m always touched when I hear of a family willing to adopt an older child. Your friends must be very special!
that is wonderful your friend adopted an ‘older’ child..may they be blessed with many years of happiness and love raising their chosen family member :)
Looking forward to seeing the show & will have my box of tissues on standby as it’s sure to be a tearjerker.
I can’t wait to see this show tonight as well. A whole new experience for me to learn from this topic.
Unfortunately, my wife and I won’t be able to watch the show. We’re really trying to control our expenses and maintain our budget so we cut out our cable television. I’m glad you’ll be able to watch, though. I’m sure it will be a very emotional program.
I teach adult learners and keep in touch with them long after graduation. One of my grads adopted a daughter from a woman who could not care for her, but still wanted to know her. It hes worked out well. The birth mom lives a couple States away but still gets photos and information inner daughter so she never has to wonder if she made the right choice.
I think that is how it should be! If I ever adopted a child, I would keep in touch with the birth mother if she was interested. I would also allow them to visit whenever they wished. I think it is important both for the biological mother and for the child. I wonder if there is any research in the field of Psychology about how it impacts their mental health.
It’s very unusual for a situation like that to work. It’s marvelous that they are able to do this.
It would be great if someone would tastefully do a show on adopting older children.
I would watch that show if there was one, would love to see the happy faces on the children.
Yeah, that would be really awesome!
That would be a wonderful sight.
I agree as the peoplewho adot older children are very special people
I totally agree I would love to see older children getting adopted, I know it’s easier to adopt children as babies but I think a lot of the older children feel left out because younger kids are getting adopted first and more frequently. I would to see a show about older children as well.
I wish I had cable or satellite T.V. so I could watch this show! I agree – it seems like a tear jerker. Hopefully they will have some online episodes available. Thanks for posting!
I know how you feel! I don’t have either one, so I’m hoping they have some online episodes or I’ll just have to order cable just for this show. I want to see it so bad! I gave a baby up for adoption when I was only 15 yrs. old. I had no help and I wanted a better life for her than what I could give her. It turned out to be a wonderful decision. She is 23 yrs. old and in college to become a nurse. She is happy and had a wonderful upbringing.
I dont normally watch stuff like this but i think i might with this show bc i find it interesting mostly bc both my parents were adopted
I wish I could watch this show but it is on a channel that I do not get. I view adoption as and act of love especially since a close friend was adopted. And another close friend placed a baby for adoption because she was still in highschool when she got pregnant
adoption is a wonderful thing. If i am not bogged down with homework I may watch it for a few
Looking forward to the show
I can’t wait to watch is show tonight. I think it will be interesting to see how these women feel about putting their child up for adoption and if it is an open or closed adoption.
I agree that I’d like to see the difference thoughts on adoption for the open versus the closed process. I assume that could make a big difference in the adoption experience
Adoption is wonderful, can’t wait for the show tonight!
I would love to adopt one day
I would love to adopt as well. If only it wasn’t so expensive to do it though.
PREMIERE
I am very interested in this show starting tonight! I am going to try to be at the live chat tonight!
I am going to try to check out the live chat as well. Perhaps I will see your name there.
Best of luck in the giveaway.
Although I’ve never given up a child for adoption I do know a couple who adopted when unable to have children. Their lives are blessed by this child and the child has a great life, presumably that he would not have had if not adopted.
That is really wonderful! My mother opted for an abortion, instead of giving up her first child for adoption. She regretted that decision her whole life, and spent years trying to hide it from her other children. I think she would have been a lot better off, mentally, if she had chosen to have her baby and let some loving parents adopt him.
That’s a wonderful thing! I’m just in awe of those selfless people that opt for adoption to give people like your friends their dreams. It’s beautiful.
Many thanks to the people who allow their children to go to good families through adoption
AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My heart goes out to those who have the strength and compassion to give up their baby for adoption. It is a difficult yet very loving thing to do. God Bless you.
I hope I don’t forget about this tonight! I really want to see it! I won’t be able to do the chat and watch though! LOL
probably will watch tonite
I’ve never given a child up for adoption and I don’t know if I’d ever be strong enough to make that choice, but both my sister and a close friend of mine gave babies up for adoption and I’ve seen how hard it was for them (and yet rewarding at the same time). I also know ladies who have struggled with infertility and have seen how wonderfully blessed they were to have been able to adopt a baby. Adoption is a very emotional decision and it will be interesting to see how this show handles this.
That is sweet that both your sister and friend were able to do so. It’s an honorable thing to participate in adoption, on both sides. I’m looking forward to the show today too!
Hopefully I can stay awake tonight to watch the show….I have a newborn, its gonna be pretty hard lol
I think it would be incredibly difficult to go through pregnancy, feel your child moving inside you, and then go through the agony of labour …. only to pass off your child to another parent. It would be so easy to skip all of that, by having an abortion. I really believe that women who choose to carry their babies full-term and then have them adopted are heros! They are very brave …. and they truly demonstrate love for their child by making that selfless decision!
This show sounds very interesting and I can’t wait to see it. Having worth with both the adoptive parents and the young ladies giving their children up for adoption, I can relate to both sides.
Thanks for the opportunity )
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the giveaway. Good Luck to All. :-)
I wish more people who live in the US would adopt state-wide instead of going overseas to do it. We need to take care of our own before we think about helping other countries out.
Perhaps we shouldn’t think of it in terms of helping other countries out, and instead look at it as helping a child out. Regardless of what lines on a map say, we are all human beings and anyone who is capable and willing to take in another helpless human being has my respect.
I completely agree. At least the children that are up for adoption in this country have plenty to eat, medical care,etc.. A lot of children needing homes in other countries aren’t so lucky. Choosing to adopt ANY child is an amazing thing.
Someone mentioned in an earlier post that she hoped that this show would not exploit the parties involved. I share that concern as well. I’ve always disliked reality shows for this reason. I am hoping that because this is the Oxygen network that they will take a more sensitive, documentary approach and allow these stories to unfold naturally. It’s already a stressful event without cameras rolling. I am hoping this show won’t add any unnecessary drama.
I completely agree with you. I do not like reality shows because they are scripted and they tend to show either the best side or the worst side of those featured. Those who are featured in this show should consider this and think about how the child will view what is going to air when they are old enough to get on the internet and can find it on YouTube.
Looking forward to catching the show tonight. Hoping it is all it has been advertised as being.
Best of luck to all in the giveaway!
The subject of adoption is very personal to me. My younger sister was adopted at just 10 weeks. I think it was such a selfless thing for her mother to give her up as she knew she couldn’t provide her with the life she needed, even though I am sure it was so hard to give her up. My sister is now 8 years old and I can’t imagine my life without her. My husband and I also want to adopt in the future.
This sounds like a very interesting show to watch! I’m sure I will be crying, but it’s such a great thing to give up a baby for adoption!
can’t wait to see it.
Hopefully I can stay awake tonight to watch the show
i can’t wait and I hope I win
I am a huge reality TV fan but those were just for fum, but this would be really heart wrenching having to watch biological parents giving up their babies to couples who has been yearning for a baby.
It is a beautiful, most blessed gift a woman can give to another family.
I can’t imagine doing that.
Should be an interesting show, I adopted my 3 nephews and 1 niece so this money would come in handy for school clothes.
WILL BE WATCHING TONIGHT
I do not like reality shows like this because they tend to be fake. I am glad that there are people who realize they cannot care for a child or do not want to have a child but are willing to give them to people who do want children. I would hope this show will feature a gay couple who are adopting, because it is still a struggle for gay men and women to jump through the hoops and adopt a child.
I wouldn’t have given up my daughter in the situation I was in, however if it would’ve been different for example if the father would not have wanted to be part of her life and I didn’t have any financial stability then I would’ve given her up for adoption. I think it’s a good decision as long as it works for the person choosing to do so
sounds like a plan,, thank you for sharing,, good luck everyone
i think it’s great! 3 of my cousins are adopted =)
Good luck to everyone, can’t wait to see the show.
I’m wondering what it would be like to grow up being one of the babies from this show. It’s just such a private and emotional topic I can’t imagine why anyone would want to televise it.
Personally I think it would be much harder to make the decision publicly than just to make the decision.
This will be one very interesting show. It looks very enlightening.
I don’t think I could ever give up my baby for adoption. These women are so strong, I really respect them.
So excited!!
I have never known anyone who was adopted. The show looks interesting but heartbreaking.
I COULD SURE USE THE MONEY! wISH i wIN!
I wish I would win this contest. I could really use the extra money to spend on my vacation at the end of August.
This show shows the strength of the woman carrying a baby for someone else. They are strong, courageous, and have the willness to help others. That is something that not everyone can do.
It would be cool to win and I think I’ll watch the show.
