For those waiting to watch the Oxygen channel’s new series I’m Having Their Baby, it is time to stay up late because tonight it premieres at at 11PM EST. I will at home watching it, recording it on the DVR in case I miss something and I will be also be participating in the LIVE chat on the Oxygen website starting at 11PM that will be moderated by Liz Zack, iVillage’s Editorial Director for Pregnancy and Parenting.
For those that have not seen the commercial for I’m Having Their Baby, this is 6 part series that follows different women who are pregnant who have decided to give their babies up for adoption. Each of their story’s are different of course and some sound really interesting like tonight’s episode, see below.
Mary’s marriage was in trouble when she had an affair and got pregnant. Now she has to decide to keep the baby or save her marriage. Claudia is pregnant by a man who has six children with four different women and fears she will end up a single mom..
I look forward to watching both of these women’s stories tonight. I think it would be incredibly hard to give up a child just because the father of the baby is not your husband and I really look forward to hearing Mary’s story tonight.
If you like reality type TV shows about parenting, be sure to watch this new show by Oxygen that premieres tonight. I would love to see some of my readers at the LIVE chat tonight too! The discussions are going to be very INTERESTING!

Mary has the right to decide what she wants. It’s her body and her choice.
I respect her decision but I don’t think I could have done the same.
Whatever choice a woman makes, its the best choice for her.
I very personal decision, Mary has to make the best choice for all involved. Even in a situation like this, I know (after being a mom many times over) that I could not use adoption as my choice. God bless those who can make that hard choice and give families that cannot have children a chance to open their arms to a child who needs them…
I believe that if Mary can not keep her baby because her husband is not the father than it is her choice to do so! She can have peace about this decision and know that if she is not able to keep the baby than she is giving the gift of life to someone else!
I just don’t know…it seems like an impossible decision to make to me…I’ll have to watch to see all the circumstances involved!
I think you need to make the best choice for the child.
I think this show does a good job of showing both sides of adoption! I can’t wait to see the other five episodes.
I am the one given up here are my feelings. As an adoptee I miss not knowing any of my social, medical, family; my adopted family has never admitted that I’m adopted; however I have the evidence; yet I’m thankful for a family who scrificed so much for a child that never really belonged.
I couldn’t do what she did, but it is her choice.
