yeah, our television over here is pretty suckworthy...
one reason i don't even bother with owning a television.
It's a documentary, following the process, rather than a
reality TV show, as it's been portrayed (by ABC
themselves, who've done themselves no favours).
The process is a unique one in that the mother of the
baby gets to help select the adoptive parents. The only
thing that is different in this case is the presence of
the TV cameras.
The world media seems to have gone overboard here,
without checking the facts. (No fault of yours implied,
it's not apparent from the media reports).
You know, Johnny has a point. This is the reality of
open adoptions except that we normally don't see the
process. If the process really is this upsetting to
people then I think that ABC did A Good Thing by putting
it in front the public.
