I was just watching 20/20 and I saw the oddest segment on it. It was a show about "teens who triumph" and one was a very inspirational story of a boy who was born with an underdeveloped spinal column, but the next was kind of confusing. A girl had been born toa teen mother and was adopted in an open adoption. 18 years later she herself is pregnant and meets her birth mother for the first time to seek advice and comfort as she decides whether to give up her baby or not. In an odd twist, her birth mother and her husband decide to adopt the baby- Annabella. So now her daughter is also her sister, Annabella's mom is also her grandma and aparently she calls her adopted mom both mom and grandma. It sounds like it is all working out for them and that they are all happy, but Annabella is only one year old, and I worry that things might get confused as she gets older and tries to explai things to other kids and grown ups she meets. They are also trying to get their story made into a tv movie, which always turns me off, but I'm trying not to let that influence my complete feelings about the situation. Hmmmm.
