Tonight I'm going to be posting 3 posts in this blog. One of them will be something I usually blog about, one will feature a new video from one of my favorite music groups, and the 3rd about something I felt the need to blog about.
The first blog of tonight will be about this week's episode of "16 and Pregnant".
This episode featured Lori, an incoming high school senior at an all-female Catholic high school who lives in Fort Thomas, KY. She was adopted by her parents at a young age and doesn't know anything about her birth mother. Her boyfriend Cory got her pregnant.
At first, Lori and Cory's intentions were to keep the baby, but Lori's mother, Mary Jo, feels that the two of them are not able to raise a baby, so she tries to get them to look into open adoption. Lori is at first unsure about that, because she doesn't want her son-to-be to go through the same things that she went through.
As time goes on, Lori's decision keeps changing. She at first decides to keep the baby and move in with Cory and his roommate, but then Cory isn't able to talk to his roommate about her moving, in, so she decides to look into adoption after all. She settles on a couple, Brad and Jennifer. But a couple of weeks before Lori's due date, the couple back out of the adoption because they felt concerned that they wouldn't be ready for a child at this stage. So Lori and her mom look into an adoption social worker, who helps Lori and Cory choose another couple. Lori eventually gives birth to a boy that she and the adoptive parents name Aiden. They have an adoption ceremony where Lori says goodbye to Aiden, but knows that in an open adoption, goodbye isn't forever.
This was a fairly good episode. Lori felt she made the right decision for Aiden, and I understand that it's hard to give a child away. I personally could never do it. So I applaud Lori for being a strong person and I wish Aiden and the new adoptive family the best.
Next week's episode will feature a girl named Samantha that has to have a C-Section. I'll be sure to blog about it. I have two more blog entries coming up for you tonight.
Love y'all,
