Plot Synopsis

This series includes enhanced episodes of RAISING WHITLEY, with viewer tweets, production notes and bonus footage. RAISING WHITLEY shows that it truly takes a village to raise a child, as this reality series follows actress and comedienne Kym Whitley -- and her collective of friends, whom she calls "The Village" -- attempting something none of them have ever done before. Kym signed up to mentor a troubled young girl, but her mentee left the maternity ward, leaving her baby and Kym's contact information. With less than an hour to make a life-changing decision, Kym chose to become a mother to young Joshua. Over the season, Kym learns the chaotic realities of becoming a full-time mom: she realizes that, while Craigslist may be perfect for finding an old couch, it's not ideal for finding a new nanny; she survives Joshua's first haircut; she gets her groove back on a manhunt with her girlfriends; and she discovers that being "just friends" with Joshua's "daddy" may not be that simple.
