ABC has picked up a drama project from Private Practice star Taye Diggs.If the drama puts the emphasis on the ethics part instead of the "dreams come true" part, it will be highly dramatic AND valuable. We'll see.
Diggs is partnering with writers Kiersten Van Horne and Cara Haycak for Match, an ensemble drama centering on the ethically complex world of adoption. The show will examine how families are made and broken as the protagonists -- a Los Angeles-based team of lawyers, doctors and caseworkers -- struggle to make dreams come true.
Talking about adoption, birthparents, abandonment, race, and China with my kids. That's not all we talk about -- but reading this blog, you'll think it's all we do!!!!!

ABC Picks Up Adoption Drama
From the Hollywood Reporter:
Wow ~ What a show. Nothing can match reality in the adoption world though. It might be interesting to try...hopefully enlightening.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see ethics and adoption in the same sentence.
ReplyDeleteI think we may be reading too much hope, but I'll hope nonetheless. How hollywood will represent the complexities of "ethics in adoption"? I'm hopeful but worried it could do more of a disservice than a help.
