Fish Hooks Episode Insensitive About Adoption and Real Father

TV & Radio

On a recent episode, Milo and Bea adopt a dog. The dog runs away and Milo states: Oh no, he found out he's adopted and now he's going to find his "real" father.

As a mother of an adopted 8 year old girl, I take offense to this. My daughter asked about this as I have explained adoption to her and she was confused by the term "real" father. Disney needs to be more sensitive to these issues.
