"Parenthood&amp;#039;s executive producer Jason Katims has revealed some of his plans for the upcoming third season. In the recent second season finale, Kristina (Monica Potter) discovered that she is pregnant, while Julia (Erika Christensen) and Joel (Sam Jaeger) decided to adopt after struggling to conceive. Katims has now told TV Line that the baby storylines will be an important part of the new episodes. &amp;quot;The Kristina-Adam-Haddie-Max-baby arc is really interesting and will essentially last the whole season,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The idea of Julia wanting to have a baby is something that can be gripping and emotional, so I want to play that out as well.&amp;quot; Katims added that he &amp;quot;absolutely&amp;quot; expects there to be conflict between Kristina and Julia, saying: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s interesting to put those two together.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, Jaeger revealed that he wants the show to examine how difficult it is to get through the adoption process. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a lot of great storytelling in that subject alone,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think it will be easy for them to adopt - it never is. Plus, I don&amp;#039;t know if it&amp;#039;s happened too often on TV where we&amp;#039;ve seen the struggle to adopt but boy, it&amp;#039;s an endless cycle of meetings and paperwork. &amp;quot;It will be an issue that adoption is out of Julia&amp;#039;s hands. She likes to be in control, and this is a situation where there are tens of thousands of families that want to adopt, too.&amp;quot; Parenthood will return for its third season this fall on NBC. The first season is currently airing in the UK on Thursdays at 10pm on 5*. &amp;gt; Read more TV news "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
