Adoption isn't for the faint of heart.

Kudos to NCIS. I just watched an episode where they portrayed a tough situation regarding adoption. Most TV shows and movies make adoption look so easy. They gloss over the difficult parts and show a loving couple with a new child. NCIS showed a situation where the birth mom changed her mind after giving birth. The character on the show was devastated but encouraged by Gibbs to not give up. Having experienced some tough, but not nearly as tough, situations in adoption, I appreciate the realism portrayed.
