I have been taking a break and hanging out with the kids.  I have also been
trying not to write letters I may regret later but All My Ch-----n is making my
fingers twitch!  Does anyone watch this show?  I never will again.  The
off-the-wall bf relationship they are carrying on in their story is ridiculous
and just blows any bf promotion that it could of conveyed in a matter of an
episode!  The bf mom is so negative about her responsibility (and I am using
"responsibility") to her baby!  She can't stand bf and makes no apologies for
it!  The adoptive parents are so quick to dismiss her importance as a bf mom and
talk about how they can';t wait until the baby "adjusts" to the new formula!
Like the baby will be better off!!

I am so angry!  Wouldn't it have been better if the adoptive mom was trying to
induce lactation for the baby since he couldn't deal with formula while using
the birth mom's breastmilk?  Anything but portraying the birth mom to be a cow
for the baby in such a negative light would have been better!  Then at the end
of the show there was a plug for the Betty Ford Center because they are having a
story line about drug addiction!  What about LLL or any group who can correct
their terrible information and influence they have feed to the mass of women and
teenage girls who watch that show!  Just when I think we have gotten somewhere,
something like this reminds me of how far we have to go.  They probably
advertise formula on the com. breaks!!!!!!!

Writing my letter to ABC for sure!
