Movie: Mother And Child (Trailer)

Realesd May 2010 "the movie "Mother and Child" (secular, rated R, fiction - from what I can tell), deals with members of the adoption triad - birth parents, adoptive parents, adoptees.

I have nto seen it yet, and am curious to.  I wonder if it is in response to the movie Juno. Even though Juno was crass and crude in parts, it showed the raw side of a birth mother's experience in adoption, which is hard to watch, but ultimately set adoption as a positive option for birth parents. We may not all agree with Juno's means to an end, but the message was still that adoption is a good option that should be explored by those in an unplanned pregnancy.

No matter the outcome with this movie, we can all be thankful that adoption is getting more attention right now in areas other than news, politics and debates about abortion, and offering more opportunities for it to be discussed and considered. Whether we like the movie or not, I hope we will be willing to join in or start some healthy discussions about it with people. I am convinced that even the pro-abortion community can support the adoption option.
