The Baby Wait
What if you knew your newest addition could suddenly be subtracted? Your bundle of joy no longer yours. Would you name her? Paint her room? Bond with her? The creators of Teen Mom, 16 & Pregnant, and Jersey Shore turn their hit-making docu-reality lens onto the subject of adoption. The series tracks the emotional journey with a primary focus on an agonizing period, unknown to most people but common to many adoptions, where the birth mom has the option to take her child back from the prospective adoptive family. Each episode follows a new case from both the birth mom and adoptive couple's perspective as they struggle with their decisions leading up to and throughout the 'waiting period,' until finally one or the other family will call the baby theirs. No matter what the outcome, each story is an emotional rollercoaster where compelling real life characters will share their hopes & fears, and heartache & joy with us.
