New Reality Show to Focus on Adoption

The good news: A new reality show will explore the world of adoption.

The better news: The New York Times reports that the new series does not focus on "the freak factor prevalent in so much reality television concerned with domestic life."

In addition to celebrating the lack of lowbrow moments in the upcoming "Adoption Diaries," Times reviewer Ginia Belafonte also offers the following insights:
Each week the series chronicles a different couple who have suffered through multiple miscarriages or failed attempts at in-vitro fertilization, ultimately deciding to pursue open adoption. ...

Prospective parents delineate their sorrows, and the expectant women struggle with their ambivalence, even though the open process means they will be allowed a place in their childrens lives. ...

Adoption Diaries focuses on adoptions in the United States, mercifully ignoring any documentation of the famous people traveling to Ethiopia to acquire babies and toddlers later to be made into photo opportunities.
"Adoption Diaries" is scheduled to air Saturdays at 10 p.m. on WE.
