Disclosure: This is a sponsored post by Oxygen but my thoughts and opinion remain my own.
Last summer I posted about Oxygen’s new show I’m Having Their Baby. The show was unlike any show out there that I’d seen before because of how personal it was. Adoption has been a sort of taboo topic and this show was not only showcasing it but showing the different sides of the stories. You got to hear why the mothers are giving their babies up for adoption, which I think definitely took some courage. So many people attack mothers who give their babies up as being selfish or say that they should have been more careful. These mothers made the best decision they could with the current situation they were in. I mean if the woman is already pregnant, there is no point in lecturing her or attacking her.
I watched the series last summer and I really liked it. The women showed their real emotions and it wasn’t staged or fake. I admit I am not one for “reality” like television shows but this one was more of a documentary. I admit that I wanted to see more after the show ended. Well Oxygen must have known what I was thinking and they have come out with the “I’m Having Their Baby: Raising Baby” web series. The web series reconnects fans with the season one families, checking in to see what has happened with both the birth moms and the adoptive families since their episode aired. It is great to see how the families have changed and grown. It is definitely an emotional show.
Check out the webisode “I’m Having Their Baby: Raising Nayamah” from the web series to see where Jamie’s story from season one is now:
Season 2 of Oxygen’s I’m Having Their Baby premieres Wednesday June 12 @ 10/9c. Each hour-long episode will feature the personal stories of women struggling with unplanned pregnancy and ultimately deciding whether or not to place their baby with another family. The season will delve deeper into the lives of birth mothers entering the adoption process, their family and friends affected by their decision and in some cases the potential adoptive couples. The show is produced by Hud:sun Media with Michael Rourke and Bryn Freedman as executive producers.

I love that they let the birth mother be involved :)
The mother has so much strength to be able to go through pregnancy and be able to give her baby up for adoption. Her baby will be able to look at this in the future and have a lot of respect for her mother for giving her a great home to live in.
i think she made such a good decision when she knows how hard it is for a single mom raising kids. shes an amazing person.
That is great the daughter is able to get help for coping with the adoption process.
I liked when Jamie saw Nayamah again for the first time, the look on her face was priceless.
Birth mother seems pretty confident with her decision. Whole video was moving. <3
I like the fact that they have an open adoption, it's really nice to see
I think is awesome that she is able to see the baby grow and both parties have good communication with each other.
I applaud Jamie for having the courage to be realistic about her situation and to give the baby, and her three other children a better life by giving the baby up for adoption to a loving couple that was willing to stay in touch with the entire family. I really think that is amazing.
i love that it was an open adoption and everyone seems really happy!
