i want my MTV!

(How old am I? does anyone else remember that advertising campaign?) :P

Two of my friends told me about a program on MTV called TrueLife and right now there is an episode on called "I Placed My Baby for Adoption."

It was on at 4 a.m. today so we DVR'd it and my husband and I are watching it right now. I wanted to post so you can search for it and hopefully it will still be running for the next week or so.

It is a reality show about 2 pregnant young women and their decision to adopt, but it's just one episode.

We are still trying to learn as much as we can about what it's like for the birth mom.

updated 3.26.09: there is a followup to this program on here. I watched it and it was very good. I feel for the women who have to make the decision to keep or give up their baby. I know it must be difficult to keep in mind what is best for the baby.

Thanks. I'll try and watch it. Our birthmom wrote me an e-mail a week after Hope was born. It broke my heart to hear how she was feeling and dealing with everything. Every time I thought of her and the time we said goodbye, I cried. It took about a month or so to think of her and not cry.

I love Hope's birthmom. Now Halli's birthmom is a totally different story!

I wasn't aware that there's new like that on MTV. Of course I wouldn't know, I don't watch that much anymore. Thanks for posting this. I'll look for it on the net or wait on MTV.
