PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Since the other thread is quite long, and discusses the background of Cassie's adoption situation, I hope it's okay to start this thread about Cassie's actual first meeting with her son, which took place on today's show.
How did y'all judge it to have gone?
I thought it went exceptionally well. Cassie seemed to acknowledge that this might all be very overwhelming for her son, who until recently, didn't even know his birth mother was still alive. She did tell Dustin that the direction their "relationship" would take was up to him---although I do think she would be very disappointed if he chooses not to pursue an active relationship with her.
It was touching when Dustin told Cassie that she was "breathtaking" and that he was proud of her for getting her GED.
The poster who said that SO would probably pixelate Dustin's face was not far off...they did NOT show his face on camera.
