Sesame Street episode about adoption

I just watched (the first half) of this episode with Arie yesterday and I really liked it! It happened to be the next one in our netflix cue; I had no idea it even existed until yesterday so I thought I'd pass it on to others who don't know.  Great educational adoption tool!

Here's the link to get it on itunes and it is also on netflix as I said.  Season 37 called "Gina Adopts a Baby." https://www.sesamestreet.org/parents/theshow/episodes/gina-adopts-a-baby

Description: 

There's a lot of excitement on Sesame Street because Gina is adopting a baby! After a lot of planning, today is the day that Gina is flying to Guatemala to pick up her baby, Marco, and bring him home. Maria is going with Gina to help speak Spanish. Gina has been waiting for this moment and has made sure that everything is taken care of while she is away. There is a veterinarian covering for her in case any animals need help and Luis and Gordon are setting up the baby's crib, Big Bird, Elmo, Baby Bear and Rosita have noticed all of the excitement, but they don't know what it means to adopt a baby. Gina explains that there is a baby that needs love and caring for and she wants to be the person to provide those things. They all can't wait to meet the new baby and help in any way they can. The next time they see Gina, she will be a mommy and she will have a new family!

Thanks for passing that along!  We have Sesame Street free through Amazon Prime on our tv.  I can't wait to show my girls!

SS has actually done a few adoption stories. There is from way earlier where Gordon and his wife adopt their son (I think it was them anyway)!  I love them all!  There is also a great Mr. Rogers (he also wrote a book about adoption) as his little sister was adopted from China. And this is much less amazing because the show kinda sucks, but Jessie on Disney is about siblings adopted from different countries. I literally only let my kids watch it because they are siblings of different races which is SO incredible hard to find.
