Then she found me...(spoilers)

I finally got to see "Then She Found me" on DVD. I liked it, for the most part. There were times I wanted to yell at the TV though. Here's a synopsis from IMDB:

"A New York schoolteacher hits a midlife crisis when, in quick succession, her husband leaves, her adoptive mother dies and her biological mother, an eccentric talk show host, materializes and turns her life upside down as she begins a courtship with the father of one of her students."

OK that's a lot to digest. Although the reviews were mixed, I just had to see it as much of the movie focused around adoption.

I hated when Helen Hunt asks her rich Biological mother to "Buy me a baby" That's not how you describe the means to becoming a parent-either through in vitro or adoption. I hurt when April (Helen Hunt) discovered that her baby had no heartbeat at 10 weeks (it happened to me twice).
I was angry when Bette Midler (Bernice-biological mother) lied to April about how she came to be adopted by the Epners and that she wasn't three days old, she was one year old. It bothered me that April said her mother looked at her brother Freddy differently because he was their biological son. I have an adopted daughter and a biological daughter and don't look at them any differently.

The movie is definitely worth a look if you are involved in adoption. Women will like it much more than men-it's a chick flick for the most part. Parts were unbelievable. I didn't like her whole involvement with Frank (Colin Firth). The movie touched me on many different levels, so I connected with it-sometimes positively, sometimes negatively. Sometimes I couldn't tell whether adoption was being painted in a positive or negative light.

I know one thing, a birthmother never stops thinking of the child they gave up. I understand that and as a mother, and it brings tears to my eyes. It's a painful choice made for the sake of the child. I always say, my daughter found us...
