The New York TimesGinia Bellafante
The celebrity media have expended a good deal of energy glamorizing adoption, a compulsion the series avoids, looking at middle-class couples simply working to expand their families, never lending the process the air of noblesse oblige.

It succeeds primarily by holding to that focus and trusting the story to keep our attention without a lot of manufactured TV-production drama.
Read Full Review >Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Adoption Diaries seems like it could pretty easily get stuck in a formulaic rut, which is probably good if adoptions proceed as they should, but that doesn't make for dramatic TV.

There are so many unknown, uncontrollable variables in play with open adoption, a fact that makes these situations--to be crass--very suspenseful television.
