Giving Up My Baby
Stacey Dooley travels to America to explore the bittersweet world of open adoption, spending time with two young pregnant women who are planning open adoptions.
First shown in 2014, Stacey Dooley travels to America to explore the bittersweet world of open adoption. The majority of private adoptions in America are 'open', and encourage birth parents to pick the adoptive parents themselves and to stay in touch with their child as they grow up.
Over several months, Stacey spends time with two young pregnant women who are planning an open adoption and tries to understand what it takes to make one of the toughest imaginable decisions; to give your baby away in the hope it will have a better life with different parents.
