There is a new movie hitting the theaters, that the support group that I mentioned (posting below) is encouraging us to see as a group, meet for coffee afterwards, and discuss. It is a tear-jerker. In watching the preview, the story is not "mine". It doesn't perfectly align with how I felt as a birthmom... doesn't perfectly depict my reasons for placing... etc. *BUT* the movie is useful for opening discussions. Pulling back up old memories, old feelings, so that I can relook at what that time in my life WAS like. And while I do plan to go with the support group to see the movie, and discuss afterwards so that I am not left with the swirling emotions "alone"... I also want to include my husband in seeing the movie. So that he can have a glimpse into this world of adoption that he is trying to understand. But as you and I both know, if you haven't "lived it"... it's hard for you to understand. But this movie will at least open the topic.
The movie title is "Mother and Child". It is rated R. And here is the link for the preview...
