SEASON 1
There are 500,000 children in the world longing for homes. For every mother and father willing and wanting to adopt them, there’s a story far more touching, heartrending, and inspiring that any work of fiction. Adoption charts the emotional and sometimes controversial adoption process for parents, children and birth mothers. It details heartwarming personal stories of International and Domestic adoptions; the difficulties facing the prospective single mothers and fathers eager to start a family; the efforts of adoptive families to create a blended cultural environment in trans-racial adoptions; special efforts by lesbian and gay couples hoping to adopt in non-traditional families; the hardships and joys of building a new home for physically and mentally disabled children; and the trying journey for adopted children who wish to rediscover their roots—by finding their biological parents.
SEASON 2
The path to adoption is one of twists and turns, ups and downs, false starts and dead ends. Embarking on the journey to welcome a child into their lives, couples, singles and families become vulnerable to the disappointment and hope, faith and uncertainty, pain and joy of the adoption process as presented in Adoption, the award-winning original series from RHI Entertainment.
Hosted by Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning actress Jane Seymour, a devoted mother and respected child advocate, Adoption follows the stories of parents-to-be as they make the physical, mental and emotional preparations necessary to open their homes and hearts to a child in need of a family.
Informative, insightful and inspiring, Adoption not only explores the inner workings of the foster care, domestic and international adoption system, but poignantly captures the essence of the adoptive parents’ courageous, caring spirit.
