"I'm Having Their Baby" New TV Series Documents Adoption from Birth Mother's View
We often think of adoption as a happy occasion, filled with love and heartwarming moments — and it often is. For the adoptive parents. Rarely do we consider the heartbreak on the other side of adoption or the heart-wrenching decision of a birth mother to give her child a better life.
The Oxygen Network will be shedding light on what adoption is like from the view of birth mothers with its premiere on July 23 of the new TV documentary series, “I’m Having Their Baby.” The series follows several birth mothers as they work through the difficult decision of putting their babies up for adoption and maneuver through the adoption process. Some mothers already have children they are raising, some are teenagers, and one married woman is giving away a baby that is not her husband’s.
After the jump, check out a sneak peak of the six-part docu-series, and let me know if you plan on watching it!
I am a First Mother, not a “birthmother”. I am not a walking uterus or just a vessel of birth for an infertile couple. I am boycotting this show because it is exploitation of both mother and child. Adoption is very painful, and it should be a private matter. While one family may benefit in this series because they gain a a child, another family has been destroyed in the process. I find it extremely disturbing!
