Maybe it's because I'm so into genealogy, but I found this MUCH less offensive than the other hundreds of "reality" shows on tv.

You have a young woman who wants to find her birth parents, and for whatever reason, has hit a brick wall.

You have a birth father who has been trying to find his child who was given up for adoption due to circumstances he couldn't control.

What was so wrong in helping them get together? Frankly, right from the beginning, you could see the pride in the birth father's eyes, and had a VERY good idea which man he was. TJ (the woman) was able to note little characteristics such as that right from the start, too.

She needed to know why she had been given up for adoption. Her adoptive parents had divorced, and I'm sure she's dealt with a lot of rejection in her life.

As a bonus, she got a chance to meet her three half-sisters, AND her birth mother (who was also looking for her)!

I'm not adopted, but I've helped a couple adoptees with their searches. There is a deep need to know that you were/are wanted, and this show answered her questions. I can't understand how many people find this objectionable.
