![[NEW] When Mom Becomes a Murderer (2024) #LMN | BEST Lifetime Movies| Based on a true story](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/V1s6_Br1lew/mqdefault.jpg)
In 1971 my fiance' was in Vietnam. Suddenly MIA. I gave our little son up for adoption in May. Even though he returned home after six months I could never have torn this little guy away from his family! Nor tear the parent's hearts in two! This is about the child regardless of the circumstances! 😢
God blessed me so much with a little baby boy 9 years later! And again with two beautiful grandchildren! ❣️🙏🇺🇲
100%❤

I come from a history of neglect, miscarriages, fostering, adopting, and so much more that I never allow myself to just feel life, it's too painful. I watched a quarter of this movie before tears began to flood my vision and I'd wished I had taken the time to read what this movie was about. I'm certain from the replies I read the writer achieved the goal; A child's life should always come first.
You are a strong woman to have done what you did, I applaud you for it.
Bless your heart. It's always about what's best for the child.
Bless you for having a true mother's heart...
One of the last lines, I felt in my soul, please tell him he had two mothers, one that loved him so much she couldn’t let go, and one that loved him so much she had too😭😭😭😭😭I gave up a baby 40 years ago, hardest day in my life, but I knew I could not give this beautiful baby girl all that life could offer……………I made the right choice.
God bless you; that was a difficult & painful decision. That takes strength to make it & live through it all these years.
I gave a girl up 50 years this coming February. The lines above that Cheri picked out is SO true...UNFORGETABLE...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From someone who was given up by my bio mother and passed around in foster care until I was placed with my adoptive parents at almost 5 years of age, you women did the right thing. I was blessed to be raised by both a mother and father who gave me a better life than my single mentally ill jobless poor mother could ever have given me. I got to talk to 2 of my 3 half siblings who were raised by her for part of their childhoods and they both had horribly neglectful upbringings and were abused and never got the love and discipline and care they needed. My brother wound up in and out of jail and unable to hold jobs or be a parent to his kids due to severe alcoholism and drug abuse. My half sister was mostly raised by her father and abusive step mother until eventually she married very young to escape an unhappy childhood. The brother I grew up with who my parents also adopted died 6 years ago at 43. I haven't always had a happy life but at least my needs were always met because both my parents worked and we were never destitute.
Very sad..
that reasonated with me as well.
I'm adopted. As an adult I have found my biological family. I would have been devastated if I would have been taken away from my Mommy and Daddy. Blood does NOT make a Mommy or a Daddy. Love does!!
That is so true ❤
It sounds like you were raised by a nice family. I’m happy for you.
❤
I totally understand
Amen!
I was adopted but, opposite for me…my adoptive mother was such an abuser!!! My biological mother I found was gentle, kind and loving She was poor and couldn’t afford to keep me. Honestly I would have loved to be with her even though she was poor. She was so loving, and the way she looked at me made me feel like the sun shone just for me..
I was adopted and I had a great loving upbringing...my dad has died now but I miss him every day.. we had a band that we both loved and when I listen to them I think of him. I've met my birth mum but she was a bit cold and harsh...different people different strokes
My daughter gave birth to my 1st grandson 4mo before her 16th birthday. I encouraged her to consider adoption. I wanted what was best for her child and mine. She was a baby herself and MY baby. She went through the process and even chose a family she thought might be acceptable. 3 months before he was born, I said to her.." You aren't going to be able to go through with this, are you? Her response was.. " I just can't Mom, my heart won't let me." Whatbif they aren't kind to him and don't love him like I already do?" What can anyone say to that except. "I understand, and we will get through it." It was really rough due to our dynamic, but he is an amazing 18-year-old blessing to this world, and I'm so glad she stood her ground
My biological mother is a piece of sht, and I am her greatest shame. My adoptive mother was an abusive piece of sht, and I was her greatest disappointment.
My adoptive father died when i was 7. My biological father died never knowing of my existence, though through DNA ancestry, his children searched me out and have welcomed me with open arms. It was A very healing experience.
@@TheWovenSoul oh that's so wonderful!
@@TheWovenSoul my biological family never accepted me.. for awhile only because I helped financially but, once I stopped they wanted nothing to do with me.. I can recall all the beatings I suffered I still have bad scars on my body.. I’m happy your siblings have accepted and love you!!
The biological mother had such grace, in so many ways. It moved me deeply. Good movie. Tear jerker of note ❤
A great script. I felt for both families. As a mother myself, the kind of love I feel for my children is totally selfless and I understand both women, and admire fathers that do everything for their families. Excellent acting too
My heart hurt so much I had to pause and take breaks to be able to continue to the end. I wish a sequel to this movie is made. The faith of a woman in her husband, the love of two men, this is a wonderful lifestory and should be continued. Excellent writing and performance.
Yes, a sequel would be in order. I'm interested in seeing how the dom vio couple pan out. This is the first time that I've wanted to believe that the man could improve himself while still in his marriage. Normally, I want the woman to leave him instantly. It may have been the scene where it showed how easy it was to make that man crumble by demeaning him with the offer of a million dollars for his blood.
@@roundtwo3321 That was a terrible move of Jack for sure but still dosn't excuse Rip. He could ahve killed his wive this time. It's completely unrealistic she was not hurt worse.
Had to take breaks too. I hated the shower scene. His little face. :(
I felt every word of what the birth mom told the adoptive mom to tell that little boy some day. I gave up my son because I loved him so much and knew he needed parents to give him the stability that I couldn’t. It’s the hardest thing a mother can ever do. One loved him so much she couldn’t let him go and the other loved him so much she had to let him go. I know. 😢
I am Korean adoptee at age 6 . Now I'm in my thirty. I have children of my own. I'm very grateful for my loving family. My mom just passed away ❤but her love was amazing she was my inspiration, role model and my very best friend.... I sometimes think about my real mom and dad... But I'm glad i was adopted
Your right
Adopted by non-Korean parents?
@@Graci719 they are white and raised me to love, respect and take my own responsibility for my actions. They taught me to love God and family. They never once yelled, hit, or curse at us or each other...
I wish I'd been adopted by my foster family who treated me great. My biological mother was very abusive!
@@Graci719 yes my parents are from America Tampa Florida
Before Sound of Freedom you could find Mira Sorvino in this lovely movie. This wonderful movie star never compromises her beliefs for a movie role. You'll find her in the best. Now she's in the unstoppable "Sound of Freedom".
I loved her in At First Sight w/Val Kilmer
Shes also in a good Christmas movie on hallmark called A Christmas To Remember...
She's in it for 5 minutes
I didn't know that. She was amazing in 'Do you Believe?'
Wow really. So she Is in freedom... I still can get myself to watch that one..
This is a truly great movie beyond description, expression, and feeling. No one should ever go through this. A must see movie for everyone to understand the importance of friendship, love, marriage, and relationship.
Most importantly, substance abuse/alcoholism and domestic violence.
And parenthood ♥️ 💔 ♥️
A little predictable
People with $ always win remember that
@@marycooper8385 Always win? You can be a billionaire and be dying of a terminal illness and all that $$ ain't gonna save your a**
There's plenty of children in this world that needs parents,love,mercy, compassion.
I wish to have 1 or 2 or 3...🤗
👍😘😍
The dog bite was bc the pup remembered him being abusive to the wife.😢
I thought that was a clever scenes. Good writing!!
Yes!
Yes--Sometimes dogs are smarter than people.
Just because the adoptive parents have money doesn't mean they should keep the boy.
Money isn't everything
@@marycooper8385 right. That was the entire premise for the movie.
Oh my!
The range of emotions flew off the charts while the movie played on.
I was a foster child growing up with out a sense of belonging at all.
I had no concept that I would continue to pass on a generational curse through my children and theirs?
I will forever long for a sense of connection on this earth plane..
In the quiet of the night and at age of 60, the desire to belong continues to haunt my soul..
I've been everywhere that I have wanted. And I have experienced all that I have desired..
Have lived more than 9 lives.
Had it all and lost everything a few times!
Healing is a life long endeavor, the journey that all of us are on.
May we choose to experience and share grace and mercy for ourselves and for one another continuously..
Thank you
I love you
Be well!
I wouldn't be able to fall asleep if the movie ended in any other way... What a courageous woman Wendy was, giving her son away second time, because she loved him so much
The last time I watched such a heart warming and sensational family movie was 40years ago when I watched “ Kramer vs Kramer”. Makes me teary eyes indeed. My ex wife and me separated when our daughter was 3 and missed her childhood. Movie like this will blow your mind and soul that gives you a good lesson in life. Kids need to grow in an environment where they get love, attention and free from abuse and mistreatment. Thanks again.
And free from alcohol , which is why I am so adamant about substance abuse of every kind. I mean , the best ending would be that Wendy has another child and her husband becomes sober. But Americans can't give up drinking and drugs once it is a habit. Everyone drinks socially and eats slaughtered innocent animals. We wonder why violent crimes are so popular, down to domestic abuse. 😢
@@tulayamalavenapi4028🙄
@@tulayamalavenapi4028alcoholism n drug abuse isn’t a disease. It’s sin that needs to be repented of because they Trust the Holy Witd and become new people. Sacrifice and death is because people transgress the laws of YHWH. They choose unrighteousness icervrighteousness and not every one drinks socially. My husband nor I drink socially and many people we know don’t bother drinking either.
I cannot fix the spelling because it put the words on top of one another.
But I’m sure it can be read and understood.anyways, sorry.
🙏🤍🕊🙏🕊🤍🙏
Kramer vs Kramer was a fantastic movie.
Messed up that a child can be taken from the only home he has ever known, and forced to stay with people he doesn't know.
😥😢😢
Real love, unconditional love of a parent puts what's best for the child first! Ripping him from the only home & parents he has known can not be in his best interest!
He did ask to see them again. He must have forgiven the drunk guy who cared bout his hygiene.
I agree; parents lose their children for a reason and judges are often way too quick in giving them back.
I agree that taking him away from a stable family to place him with people he hardly knows and who has issues is not in his best interest. Even if the birth parents did love Joey and wanted a second chance, they could have done it in the different way than taking him from the only people he knows as his parents and his father especially needs to work on himself more before he can have any custody of a defenseless child. CPS and the family courts needs to get their butts together and realize what is best for a child doesn't always mean being with the biological parents.
Agree
Heart wrenching movie ❤ so many children in the system need loving caring parents 🙏🏼
This was a tough movie to watch. I am glad the right decision was made for this little boy. Children cannot be ripped away from their home just because somebody wants to have them back. Our system is tragically flawed resulting in severe damage to the innocent. I am grateful this movie showed what love really means. Letting go when the child is put first.
Yep and they also give kids back to their abusive parents after they had been removed from the home when evidence emerged and even takes kids from parents who did nothing wrong and were falsely accused. The foster care system is problematic in itself as many of these foster parents care more about money than about caring for the kid and the kids might face another abusive situation😭 Whatever happened to protecting our children???😭😭😢
I agree
Not only its a constant fear for the "adoptive" parents but it really is not healthy for the child.
Adoptees already suffer from abandonment so they need a stable home and type of life in their childhood
@@Jessica-wo6pxthats true. I heard of this. It is terrible. Some people are really unfit to be parents.
Strolling down and reading all your beautiful comments and honestly just can't hold back my tears, such a wonderful movie it reveals the deep and honest feeling of parents towards their children, how special they are within families..."They are special gifts from above...Love the movie and mega thanks to all who contributed in making of this beautiful movie.
I was in this movie as one of the choir singers. Also got to hang out with Cole Hauser and Barry Pepper. Filmed in the Jacksonville, Florida area. Scenes doubling for "Haiti" actually filmed near Jacksonville University.
That’s amazing!!! How’s Barry Pepper like?
Lucky you. Something you will always remember.
I love Barry pepper. Can you tell him please😚
Cool. What an amazing experience.
😢 SUCH a heart breaking 💔 but unconditional love regardless of over whelming sadness,yet she did what's best for her child 😭
Great movie. Don’t think I can watch it again…just cannot imagine. So glad love won
Only a monster would want a child to live in that dangerous environment. Subjecting him to abuse by the sperm-donor is, in itself, child abuse.
What a tear jerker for all of us who whose mother chose adoption 😢for her child,,
Overwhelming sadness omg my heart will cry non stop 😢
@@shakeitoffagain qq
Truly loving your child can also mean letting them go so they can have a better life....
But is better life equal being loaded?
Now I am 58, and there is still a little boy in me, remembering me that in my core I am still a beloved creature among birds, dogs and cats, some dear old friends.
Loosing childhood is like loosing a human fullfillment. Loving a child is remebering how strong and beautyfull love can be.
I call this " The Univeral Hope"
My best friend, as a child had this happen to her. She was ripped away like Joey was. It messed her up for most of her life.
The courts should not just decide based on the law, which does not look at the welfare of the kid in loved. The social worker was such a empathetic person. She advised the birth mother that her decision might wreck a young boy's life.
Returning a child to a home where one parent is an alcoholic is a recipe for disaster. 😢
And that's what should sway the court. The mental health of the child should count for something
@@lovelace8702 Yes indeed
Agree 💯percent
@@amapola53 Yes the social worker was the only one in the legal system who had any sense and saw how wrong it was. If Rip and Wendy wanted to work out their issues, they could do it without ripping Joey from the only home he has ever known. They may have made their choices but Joey was innocent and did not choose to be in this situation in the first place. It's not fair to punish him for the actions of some adults he doesn't even know and the court system should have put his best interests first before the parents.
A great movie that shows love overcomes - two moms - love allowed the biological mom to make the right decision in the end.
My deepest sentiment is “every child a wanted child.” Let’s honor the true essence of the person, not force a person to compromise who he/ she really is just to fit in. Let love & truth guide us! ❤️
@@marydurica8761yes, definitely, this way shows that privileged ppl having more rights then birth parents if system once get involved, it's never clear cut, but children should have rights to the parents, if they're not dangerous to them ..yes, it's hard though, very hard for everyone for sure
@@karolinaszczudlo9871 But in this case the bilogical father WAS dangerous. In my opinion he is to much excused by Wendy after everything he did to her as well. She could have died when he hit her that last time. That dosn't mean Jack's behavior wasn't disgusting as well or makes the kidnapping right. I think they should have made a compromiss that allowes Wendy to meet him though.
If you call the dog to testify, the adoptive parents win.
What a touching movie. I was holding my breath at the end. I was so relieved that i cried. I feel for both families. Im gkad at the outcome but hoped the birth mom would remain in his life somehow. Thank you for this lovely movie
Sometimes it rips your heart out to do what is right 💔💔💔
One of the best movies I've ever seen about the kind of right relationship parents should have with their children. Very outstanding acting by all actors.
This movie was so hard to watch, to realize there are so many kids being born into the wrong families, to only imagine everything some kids have to endure growing up, and then we wonder why we have so many trouble people in this world, there is no happy childhood anymore 😢 if you are a young woman, have all the sex you want, just don’t get pregnant, and if you’re the father do everything you can to be there for your kid. The highest honor and the greatest legacy of a man is to be there for his offsprings from the minute they are born to the time when they can do for themselves. Do not be absent, be there every night to put your child to sleep in the safety of your presence.
What a touching film and story. Both sides had hard times. You sometimes wonder that no one listened to the child....
I wish they could have arranged an open adoption so the birth mom didn't have to suffer.
Somehow, the dandelion did. I think I'll talk to the dandelion myself.
Love Mira Sorvino
So hard for Wendy I can not imagine the pain 💔
There are no winners
I am adopted but I am thankful that my birth father gave me up after my birth mother died.
I have my parents now that love me more than I deserved
My heart goes out to the adoptive parents. 😢
As Mother of 3 who was told I was putting my life on the line if I had any. My 3 should have been 5 but it wasn’t meant to be. All I wanted was a house full of children so our 4th was adopted and she completed our family. We helped raise another 46, 9 of those my children brought home from school because a parent told them not to come home again. We loved them and finished their educations.
There is no difference between how you feel if you give birth or foster or adopt. I learned when I was small I could love any baby or child. I still question if I did things right or was I the right Mother. Then I look at the beautiful young woman she is and she owns a big chunk of all of our hearts. So if you cannot have your own baby and you decide to adopt. Don’t question yourself if it feels different, it is the same and none of the 3 I gave birth to look like me or their Dad. One looks a bit like his Great Grandfather’s Brother. Genetics mean nothing. ❤
Glad the Mom did the right thing. Good Movie. Sad but True. I have found in my Life. People that drink and are abusive. Never really change!!!
Yep she did and I'm proud of her for that. It's not easy to go against your toxic husband and convince him to let Joey go but she did that and I'm equally glad that Rip saw that and agreed to give up his right so Joey wouldn't have to suffer with losing the Mommy and Daddy he knew and having to deal with his and Wendy's issues. He finally put his son over himself and recognize that they need help.
I loved this movie! I am adopted, and although I've never met my birth mom, I love and appreciate what she did for me. My family adopted me when I was just a couple of weeks old. When we had our first child, I decided to do a search for my birth mom, with my parents help. I wasn't able to find her though. Adoption is a wonderful gift to give and receive. Children are such a blessing, and because of abortions, it has been much harder to adopt a baby. My hope and prayer is for more young women to choose adoption instead of abortion.❤
Absolutely! Adoption is the best for the birth mother and the adopting parents. A life is saved by the birth mother. These young women need to come to terms with becoming pregnant and realize that they have the very beginning of a human life. Abortion needs to be stopped. That isn't a birth control that is killing a human being. Birth control is not getting pregnant. Birth control is from being abstaining and not giving in.
Marriage first, then love one another, and then they just might be blessed by God and have a child.😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Adoption for sure is the best. Then again, it is debatable that a one or two month embryo is a baby. Many women are raped, and in our culture, many young women are pressured into sex, even on a first date. Date rape is considered her fault as she invited him in, etc. I don't believe it's fair for a young woman to have to carry her rapists' sperm to term. So I agree with you to a point, but totally abolishing abortions is not the solution for me.
As a mother who gave her daughter up for adoption, the most heartbreaking part is handing over your baby knowing you will never see the child again,, seeing the little face and hearing the little noises baby makes and feeling the movement, knowing dream never come true. my heart still remembers the ache that will never go away, to this day, I have never felt anything so hurtful that can it can be compared to. your mom loved you enough to not think of herself. I am sure she loved you.
@@gordonstroup882 The birthmother would still have to go through nine months of pragnancy that may mess up her live. Some may not even be women yet but still young teenagers or girls since there are some who go into puperty with ten or younger. No young teenager should be forced into motherhood . Some women aport because their live would be endangered or because the embryo won't survive anyway. And better not being born at all then being born in a shitty invironment. Unwanted children are often neglected or otherwise abused. -I agree aportion (at least after the first month) is not birth control but still nothing that should be shunned or outlawed and of course choosing adoption over it is always good.
Why is your hope not that more people use birth control instead and have actual intelligence bcz that means they would ot even have to make decisions like that and can truly feel free in their heart, mind, soul and protected from sxual transmitted diseases too. If people have sense to use a condom in addition to the things that a female can use. So if they have sense protection is present!
Its crazy how terribly they handled it. Touched on so many important subjects leaving conversations that need to be had but didnt really expand or go deep. Great acting. Totally Worth watching
Every moment with this movie, I missed my son, Hamza a lot. May almighty keep him healthy and shining.
Putting a child up for Adoption is serious. You don't give them up and then take them back. That is cruel to the child. They are not an object to pass around. I know as the social worker told me I could place my child for 6 months in Foster care in case I changed my mind. That is Evil in my book!
I so agree with you!
Exactly! Children are little human beings and not toys to give and take away and people should not be treating them like this little boy was treated in this movie. I do believe in parental rights but the rights of children should come first.
Once a parent signs away their child, they should not be able to get him or her back. The adoptive parents are counting on that child to be there’s permanently
I love this film!
It was certainly a tearjerker!
I'm so glad it had a happy ending!
This movie is a tear jerker. Remind me how life can be difficult and how things can mostly be out of place. My heart goes to both families portrayed here and may compromise be thought in situations like this for a better outcome.
Absolutely one of the best movies I've ever seen. Also, well produced and directed and well-acted.
They have the money to follow him. I could NOT let him go alone or hand him over, no matter what the law says. ....
Emotive sentiment, "...two mothers; one who couldn't let him go and another who had to".
This is just too heart breaking.
Then you'd do jail time ;)
@@horsluva0758 After your reply, I watched the movie again. My thought now is that if it was me I would have asked if I could speak mother to mother, with Wendy, much earlier on in the proceedings.
Maybe the law needs changing.
@@antoinevandamme6506 We would hope that if this happened in reality, that the social services would be allowed to present a more comprehensive argument in favour of the adoptive parents before the judge. At least we would hope that the blood' father 🤔, would be expected to prove himself in civvy street for at least a year. Whilst, in prison, in my view, he had no rights. He signed away his rights when he started beating up on his wife.
So many sides to this. The birth' mother made her decision without coercion.
The argument to rule in favour of the adoptive parents, surely is stronger as the boy was clearly happy and well cared for.
If we lose a valuable item in the street and someone finds it and hands it over to the police, if the item isn't claimed by the original owner within a set time, I forget how long, the item is given to the person who found it, if they want it, and the original owner loses any rights of ownership. There should be a similar cooling off period and cut off, for adoption cases.
I would bite the bullet and make friends with the family no matter what. Make it work no matter how hard, embarrassing and weak I would look: I would do it
How can the law allow to do such a thing to a little boy and send him to people who are strange to him I cannot understand
What a year jerker!!! Sometime, we choose the wrong parents. And then, the right ones save us.
Sometimes
Difficult to watch at some points but a moving movie of sacrifice and love.
Barry Pepper is such a good actor!! Love to watch all his movies...
🌸🧚💝🧚🌸
help me understand why do some women choose to stay with abusive man?
Co dependency
Great movie. I loved Barry Pepper in The Green Mile. This movie was unpredictable.
This was a good movie, painful for both sets of parents. Can't forget the child, for his physical & emotional pain. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful testimonial of love, grace and sacrafice. A true example of the love of God!! Absolutely LOVED this movie.
This movie really struck home for me (I was adopted as an infant). Thank you.
That’s must be so so terribly hard for the adoptive parents,poor little man and this happened often
What a fine family movie. Good acting from all the cast. The boy is so adorable, his smile is infectious and can really act, reminds me of Ricky Schroeder, that boy from The Champ. He's a scene-stealer.
I'm confused about why the 4 parents can't provide some communication compromise. It's important that adopted kids know their biological parents wanted them, so they were certainly never abandoned, even after the visits. There should be letters and phonecalls. This is an innate psychological need in all of us.
Absolutely one of the very best movies ever made, period.
This should have one some academy awards. It is beyond words how great a movie it is! You will truly be touched.
. . .watching now. . .
I really enjoyed the ads! Too bad that movie kept interrupting them.
UA-cam prime stops ads 16 a month there about
Love this very touching movie. I know this kind of thing happens often to both set of parents and children. Hopefully in the end all of them find love a peace with their hearts and develop relationships over the years .
This is terribly upsetting for me. No child ever needed to go through this.
Maxwell Perry Cotton, Joey, was incredible in this wonderful movie! Such a young child and so amazing!
Such a beautiful movie and the cast were outstanding, especially Mira . Thanks for sharing it with us. 🌹
Great movie..well acted..the real parents had to understand that what they did had consequences ..the law is wrong..not all children need to be or have to be with their birth parents…they gave up their rights with their decision to choose drugs and violence..shame mrs porter didn’t leave the husband..she might have stood more chance..😢
@pippamellon8678 she was not psychologically capable yet. Maybe in time she would after getting therapy.
I real life situation I would have prayed to the Greatest love this world has ever known my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ❤ Knowing His leading is always perfect..He offers perfect peace..
AMEN!
I loved this movie...really well written and acted...
GREAT movie! you won't be disappointed...has a nice ending. Tears were shed...but happy ones.
Brilliant movie, so sensitively done. Thank you for the upload
Thanks for making such a great movie. I enjoyed this movie, as the biological mother had a good heart for her son so the adoptive parents had an unbreakable bond with him.
That movie made me cry.. what a wonderful movie.. wonderful acting... why all them great actors not acting anymore?
No wonder I LOVED this movie...
about a VERY SPECIAL LITTLE BOY!!
🕊😁👍❤
Tearing up again, I knew it had to end this way, a mighty movie of 2 mothers fight against the odds😢
Wow, what a beautiful, beautiful movie. I know it hurt the birthmother, but I’m so happy that the little boy is where he needs to be.
God is so good!!
Thank you.....for the 'non spoiler' ....wasn't sure if I could watch it :-)
Thank you..
I’ve always enjoyed watching any movie Mira Sorvino was in.
Love this movie ,thank you for sharing :)
POWERFUL FILM…!!! Riveting all the way through. Mira Sorvino shines in everything she does, and Cole Hauser was stellar in his performance as well! Thank you all so much!👏
Wonderful movie! One of the best I’ve seen.
I absolutely cried my eyes out. I can not imagine having to turn my children over to complete strangers. I also feel that the system is broken. The transition could have been handled better with room for all to be better adjusted. My husband and i believe that there can be a relationship w both sets of parents. Where the child knows both sets ( if safe and can be handled amicably). All children could benefit from having more people love them.
I've had 2 biological children, and my husband and I adopted two boys (separately at their birth) and later adopted a 14 year old girl from foster care. I will tell you we feel no differently about any of our children. We love them exactly the same. Honestly we had to work harder for the adopted children, it was so much more intentional. We've raised our boys knowing they were adopted and continue to reitterate to them just how much their biological mommys loved them so much that they hand picked a loving family for them to have. My heart hurt for both mothers in this movie.
I'm glad he's with his adoptive family. His real father was violent + he didn't deserve to live with violence. His real mother was an idiot to stay with her husband! He hits you once, he'll hit u again!
I am so hurt as a mother…where is the mother of this boy? I am crying my heart out…if I have a son like this, my knees to God for him every day
I can’t stop crying! That poor little boy, his real parents are so selfish to uproot him from everything he knows! He messed up, she gave him up, that was their choices! He should not pay! It’s not about money, it’s about the child and how their choices hurt him! I feel so mean, I wanted his real dad to show his true colours before he messed the child up! Great ending but feel bad she stayed with abuser! That was sad!

My friend & I watched this together last night. It was very well done. The overwhelming theme was that the child is priceless 💎
Same here. Exept I think they should have just arranged for his birth mother alone to be allowed to visit him once in a while.
@@sawanna508that’s wild, she didn’t even want to visit him until the bio dad wanted to be in his life lol. Everyone so quick to call him abusive totally ignoring how he changed and was happy with being a changed man and didn’t go back to his old ways until the guy tried to bribe him. The guy walked away from 2 million dollars cash to keep his kid, if that doesn’t show anyone he loves that boy idk what will
So much suffering over a signature. Should be a limit on repossessing a child.
I agree 💯percent
What a great movie so touching i was also given away at 6 years old but didn't go quite as well but Praise GOD i turned out good .All these years later still just me but it's ok GOD is merciful and TRUE .🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸 Thanks for making today great.
Kind of amazing. Right now I'm in Battleground, WA, where the author of this story lives. Beautiful story, very well scripted, and acted.
Such a touching movie! ❤ Great story, very pertinent theme!
M'y parents separated when i was three.
For me a very complicated story...
This movie made me cry a lot.
Very Moving and true feeling
Thanks you !
The description is not accurate. The birth-mother was not an alcoholic abusive person. She was the loving angel in this.
I just started the movie . Mira Sorvino is exceptional from the moment you see her. I luv all her work. She could read the alphabet w compassion and love. Looks like the cast is wonderful.. w Barry Pepper. Can’t wait. …
wow Cole Hauser is wonderful as is the rest of the cast! Beautiful story. Mira ✨you are amazing !
I can’t BELIEVE her sister betrayed her!!!
Charming, heartbreaking film! Thank you.
Some people should just stick with messing up their own lives. They shouldn't involve others.
Very powerful story. Beginning to the end eyes glued to the screen. Indescribable emotions ran through me.
The Genuine Love For A Child Can Bring Such Pain
Beautiful well written and acted story. When a child is born do the parents really know if they are ready for the responsibility? How do they finally know? Little seven year old Joey is so cute and can tell us who is truly his mom and dad. We are taken on a journey of lost and found love for a child.
People can be so selfish. They could just have another baby instead of ripping apart the boys life
You're so right. They should have had more sense than that and what about the adoptive parents who loved and cared for the child? It's not fair to give them a baby they bond with then just take him away like they wouldn't be devastated and heartbroken. It's just cruel to do that and people need to think about how their actions affect others instead of themselves.
This is a heart felt movies. Messages about letting go. A tear jurking movie. Loved it.
The dog is better to judges the character than she is.
Such a heartbreaking situation for everyone. But most of all, it is so cruel to the child to go back and forth.
OMG, I am so different, I think it was HORRIBLE that these parents would take that child away from the only life he knew. I know it ends well, but to put him through that. The horror he went through. Everyone feeling so sorry for the biological parents. They were very selfish people. Hopefully they grew over time, but at that point they were terrible parents.
A lot of people cannot see beyond their own wants, needs, pains. Because doing a thing will hurt Them less, they believe it will be best for All.
Absolutely agree with you!
Beautiful,I could feel all of their pain,and the love.❤️
