| Summary |
In this series journalist Stacey Dooley travels to the US to meet some shocking faces of America, and investigate the big issues affecting the country's youth. In this episode, Stacey travels to America to explore the bittersweet world of open adoption. The majority of private adoptions in America are 'open', and encourage birth parents to pick the adoptive parents themselves and to stay in touch with their child as they grow up. Over several months Stacey spends time with two young pregnant women who are planning an open adoption and tries to understand what it takes to make one of the toughest imaginable decisions; to give your baby away in the hope it will have a better life with different parents.
