Adoption becoming a real life soap, great! What about the privacy of those children? Have their birth parents agreed to the fact that they are filmed? Cute little camera's are filming, well it's being filmed for tv, I do not care or it's done with an iphone or huge camera or spy camera, the result is a film. I pressume some adopters will go to this event, I do not think it's ethically right. Real life children with real birth parents and often horrible stories behind them, are displayed as if we are still living in 1930 when you walked into an orphanage and took home the cutest baby. Going to one of those events is probably oke, being filmed and shown on tv for everyone to watch is not oke. What message does it sent to the general public? This can have implications for those children and prospective adopters! I presume this are all children and their birth parents are in agreement to the adoption and they have no problem the world knows they were useless parents and now their children are up for adoption. In those days you can watch programme's back forever.......... nice if one of the classmates find out. 'oh but it is done nicely, the filmers understand', Really?
