It seems that viewers either love it or hate. I think if you are a birth parent or an adopted child, you can't help but be completely moved by the experiences of the people who come on the show. I've watched the first three episodes and each one brought tears to my eyes. Each person had been searching with no results for years. This show goes where and discovers what private detectives have failed to find for their clients. It is a very emotional experience to seek someone out and be reunited. Birth parents want the chance to explain what happened and to see whether their decision was a good one. Adopted children have so many questions, like wanting to know where they come from, why they were given up for adoption, and sometimes, whether they have any siblings. There are many fears, secrets, misconceptions, and unresolved issues that are faced in this series. I hope it continues to stay on the air. It's worth watching. My only criticism, which made me give it only 9 stars, is the horrible way they make the person searching climb a steep hill to meet the person they've been searching for. It's so contrived for drama, suspense and more emotional reactions.
