Hi All,
I thought that gived it had been a little quiet lately that I would start a random discussion...
I wondered how many of you out there watch the American Adoption program.
Personally, I love it... the adoption community is such a small one and it gives me hope... but on the other hand I hate how easy they make it look for the US.... it should be equal to all countries...
Just tossing it out there for discussion (and cause I am bored at work)!!!!

Why are you so bored at work Louise? Surely even this early there is some kid out there that needs your guidance.
I haven't seen this show. What channel and what time and then I can comment, after I have watched it. Take care.
I believe you will be mother soon. waiting.

Hi Waiting
I watch all those sort of shows and I watched them while we were waiting to be placed and my DH would get upset with me because i would get upset because we were hearing nothing from our agency. But now that we have been placed (already 2 years) i still watch them. I think the shows show how easy it is, i dont believe it can be that easy.

Hi waiting and doris,
Well I was bored at work cause I had my 1 period off for the week, didnt take uni stuff to work and being the 2nd day of term, there was nothing to do.
the show is on foxtel - the hallmark channel. they have 1 hr programs and 15 minute short ones too.
doris - I think it does give the impression to others that adoption is still an easy prospect which is totally not true. I just get amazed that they can walk into an overseas orphanage and adopt a child (assuming their dossier is in order etc...)
cheers girls

Well we don't have Foxtel and I rather avoided these kinds of shows as I did not want to get my hopes up too high and Australia unfortunately is not the US in terms of adoption.
