Plot Synopsis

This series chronicles the open adoption process and the amazing journey of birth mothers and adoptive parents, as brought together by Jennifer Bliss, counselor and PsyD., and her team at Independent Adoption Center. Each episode follows a different compelling story from the beginning stages -- as a birth mother is faced with the daunting task of choosing her baby's future family -- through the process of selecting the adoptive parents, birth preparation, delivery day and a five-week follow-up visit with the baby's new family. The first season only follows traditional adoptive couples -- no single parents and no same-sex couples -- even though the Independent Adoption Center places multiple children in non-traditional homes.
