Lovely history. It takes a miracle to have a family and it is not easy to understand it until you experience not being able to have one. There are many couples out there who go through a very paintful process in order to have a child. Some are lucky and some are not. Adopting, loving and welcoming a child is such a beautiful act of love. There is so much to say about the message of this movie, but my review would be too long. All I will say is that I couldn't stop the tears. Such a heartfelt message about acepting each others differences and believing and loving one another just the way we are. Very well done. ♡ ...

I totally liked this movie! It is a feel good movie. If you watch the trailer(s) you get a feel for what this going to be and it doesn't disappoint. It is predictable and sugary sweet and that is OK! I smiled throughout the movie. This was a good time on a cold, gray December Saturday snuggled up on the couch with my wife.

It's interesting and all, plus the end is nice. But it's too sad. No spoilers from me, but something really sad happens. If you like dramas, then this movie is for you. But if you cry easily, don't watch it.
