5/10
Not good for Adopted Kids

Warning: Spoilers
Andi Mack is well written, the actors are wonderful and it is pleasure to watch. Its my 9 year old daughters favorite show. I will admit that I also enjoy watching it. There are a couple of things, though, that are concerning to me, being the mother of an adopted child. Andi finds out her older sister is actually her Mom, and the people who have been raising her for the last 13 years her Grandparents. Suddenly after only seeing Andi sporadically for the last 13 years, Bex (Bio Mom) wants to come back and raise her child. She totally disregards her own Mother who has been raising her daughter this whole time. Does not follow the established rules or wishes of the family. She believes it is her right to come in and take over. This is not OK, and shows just how selfish Bex actually is, even moves out with Andi without telling/asking/consulting her Mother. Cece is Andi's mother she has had her and raised her since birth, it is incomprehensible that Disney would write this on such a way as to make that seem inconsequential. As a Mother of an adopted child I would never allow this to happen. When you give your all to a child for 13 years you are the Mom and Dad. I think Disney really needs to give a bit more respect to this aspect. Plus Andi is more than happy to change her alligance....just a shame....
