Having been adopted,and had a daughter given up for adoption,and going through the adoption process to try an adopt,and finding my bio-sisters in 1997. The movie doesn't show the real reactions of the people around you when this happens.The reactions by those in the movie seemed "sugar coated",not every one in real life are not always that supportive as they were in the movie.The story was well written,and acted. Mercedes Reul,and Jamie Sheriden did their parts well.The better movie to see how different members of a family would react would be "Secrets & Lies". It's along the same lines,but more conflict is involved than this.I enjoyed both movies. I have a copy of this on VHS.I am going to find it on DVD.I give this a 10.
