"Parenthood" and adoption *spoiler alert*

in Success after IF

I watched this week's episode last night.  My heart was breaking for Julia and the birth mother (Zoe?).

I realize most people aren't that directly involved with the BM...but to have her change her mind at the last minute? 

Also as an aside:  the show reminds me a little of Party of Five sometimes.  So much drama in each episode:)

    I had to stop watching it after the first season for that reason!  I couldn't handle the constant drama!

    I watched it. Julia (forget her actual name) did an amazing job showing how angry and upset she was over Zoe's choice.

    She didn't officially say she changed her mind, it was assumed... I am still hoping she was just saying bye to the baby.

    I LOVE PARENTHOOD!!! The emotions of the characters is so real!

    I l.o.v.e. love that show. I don't think Zoe is actually changing her mind, I think she was just saying goodbye or considering motherhood, but they definitely make it seem like she is changing her mind. 

    That show makes me tear up or all out cry every single week! I am a totally hybrid of Julia & Christina.

    I hope so....  We could just tell things were going to go poorly at the hospital as soon as the whole family showed up to bring the baby home.  I burst into tears.

    This is by far our favorite show.  Even DH is addicted.   Love love love it!    Though, he could never remember what it was called, so he refers to it as Parent Trap.  :)

    I know they didn't officially say she changed her mind...but they were trying to illustratate the conflicting emotions of the BM.  It was super sad to see how that made Julia feel.  I hope she doesn't change her mind either.  It's only a TV show, but Zoe is totally not prepared for motherhood.

    One of my favorite shows!  I watched it last night, and burst into tears when they showed her holding the baby and talking to her.  Such a tough situation -- heartbreaking for one of them.

    ME TOO!  Even if she didn't think it was right, her niece is a consenting adult!  I was hoping she would flat-out refuse to leave.  Unbelievable!
