I admit it....I watch this show. And since I'm drawn to any story about adoption, I'm really into the story about Eva Longoria's character (Gabrielle?) She just adopted a baby girl domestically, and in last night's show the birthmother changed her mind. She came back for the baby. I'm sure things don't happen in real life like they did in this show, but it affected me. The police came to the house with no notice and took the baby from the Dad's arms. Mom's screaming things like, "BUT SHE'S MY BABY! I STAY UP WITH HER! HE SINGS TO HER! SHE'S OURS!" It was heartwrenching. I was tearing up and trying to hide it from Jeff, because...I mean....c'mon...it's a tv show. But still....
That is exactly why we didn't even really consider domestic adoption. The idea of taking in a baby, loving her, caring for her, thinking she's yours forever, and then losing her. It's just too much. We needed a situation with finality.
There are plenty of other reasons. But this one's a biggie.

I was right there crying too- which I really didn't expect as the whole adoption story was a little zany at times. I agree with you about domestic adoption. It's just not for me.
I hear you. We want to raise our daughter not spend our time in court.
