An adoptive mother has conceived an online petition regarding the adoption plotline on Glee which she claims is inaccurate.

Amber Austin started the petition on Change.org because of Quinn’s (Dianna Agron) decision to try and get her baby back from adoptive mother Shelby (Idina Menzel). The petition claims that Quinn is ‘actively (and with malice)’ attempting to get her baby back.

Austin claims that the show irresponsibly handled the storyline by suggesting that a birth mother can take back her adopted child. She said:

“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.”

Austin hopes that Glee creator Ryan Murphy will produce a public service announcement.

What do you think of the controversy? Has Glee harmfully portrayed its adoption storyline?
