On the show, Quinn is trying to steal the baby that she gave to Shelby back!
One adoptive mother is upset over the Glee plotline involving Quinn’s biological child, whom Shelby adopted!
Quinn has vowed to get the daughter she gave up for adoption to Shelby back by any means possible — and this makes adoptive mom Amber Austin angry, The Los Angeles Times reports.
Amber has started a petition to encourage the show to put a public service announcement after each episode that involves this story because she believes it’s damaging to adoptive families.
“I’m horrified at how the show has handled this. It’s inaccurate, and puts forth a perspective that can cause real harm with adoptive parents,” she said.
Amber wants Glee creator Ryan Murphy to end each episode with a PSA that details the reality of adoption.
What do you think, HollyMoms? Does Amber have the right to be mad?

Seriously, as an adoptive mom I think this is all completely ridiculous! We as adoptive parents need to get over ourselves. If you are not secure in your parenthood then you shouldn’t have adopted in the first place. Birth moms do sometimes want their kids back. And why not! It is only a piece of paper that makes that kid someone else’s. I defy any parent adoptive to walk away from a child and not be devestated but if a woman who gives birth does that she is demonized.
I find it completely in tune with the self centered society that says “mine mine mine” you can’t have her I paid for her and just because she shares your biology and you carried her in your womb for 9 months doesn’t give you are right to love care or miss her.
