This past few weeks. I have noticed that the subject of adoption is being implemented into some of the primetime TV shows.

The show "Ghost Whisperer" which appears on Friday nights had an episode that dealt with an adopted child who had died and would not cross over without meeting his birth mom. It was a touching episode and made you think of how important it is for most adopted children at some point in their life to find and meet their birth parents.

Earlier in the week there was another primetime show that also had subjects that dealt with adoption. I did not get to catch the complete episode but once again I was happy to see the subject addressed.

As adoption becomes a more common subject, I believe we will see more and more shows on TV dealing with the subject and bringing it to the big screen.

Will there be a day when adoption will be an acceptable way to build a family? When teachers will not implement assignments that are not adoption friendly? When neighbors will not look and say oh that is the adopted kid?

I know that just in the decade that we have been involved and living as an adoptive family, we have faced many obstacles that most biological families do not have to deal with.

It is like society sees a child that has been adopted and labels them as a "bad kid." It is as if they are expected to fail. I get very excited when an adopted child that I know exceeds the limits and brings home an honor roll report card. Or goes out for track or some other sport in school and is a high achiever. They let everyone know that they are normal and can do anything that they set their goals for.

So welcome primetime. I would love to see a sitcom done on an adoptive family. I know there are a thousand things that have happened in our day to day life that the public would find hilarious.

Maybe with all the reality shows out on the tube we will one day see something pop up on the subject of adoptive families.
