Interesting to read the parent/baby astrology

I hope it’s okay that I ask this but I’m just kind of wondering other peoples thoughts on the show Baby Borrowers. We’ve watched both episodes and I have mixed opinions on it. It would be neat to hear other points of view. I think that it’s great that these kids get to see that babies are not just all dress up and playing house. Some of the issues they faced were good lessons. But I said to my husband that it’s too long for those babies to be away from their parents, well with a stranger. I was thinking that maybe they saw their parents and that was just edited out, but in reading NBC’s response to the article linked above it doesn’t sound like it. I don’t know… it definitely taught the kids but it’s also pretty extreme.

What do you others think?
