I’m Having Their Baby tells the too-often untold story of the birth mother and her experience in making this difficult and emotional choice. These women come from states all over the country and many of the birth mothers teenagers and some are well into their twenties. If you haven’t watched the show, you will want to get your tissues ready. The show is emotional, but usually makes me end up in tears of joy. It makes my heart happy to watch these situations turn out so well.

I am anxious to hear the birth mom’s stories on I’m Having Their Baby season 2.  Watching these parents struggle to make this decision is so raw and real.  Watching I’m Having Their Baby makes me realize how incredibly tough this decision is to make.  I couldn’t imagine having to be in that situation.  However, I feel like these birth moms are heroes. They give these children a chance at the very best life.  Many of these moms want nothing more than to keep their baby. They just can’t, for reasons we all won’t or don’t understand, but they are brave enough to give another family a child to love.

The journey for the adoptive parents isn’t easy either.   There are ups and downs, as well as  uncertainty. Many of these couples have tried on their own or have been waiting a long time and these babies are precious gifts.
Season Two of I’m Having Their Baby will continue on this path, delving deeper into the lives of birth mothers entering the adoption process, their family and friends affected by their decision and in some cases the potential adoptive couples. The premiere is TONIGHT, 6/12 @ 10/9c.
