I don't see how this is a hollywood ending. She didn't reconcile with her son. She didn't get to tell him that she had always loved him and never wanted to have him adopted. He knew none of that. And she only knows what others can tell her of him. She never got to know him herself.The part I don't understand though, is why to US laws need to change to allow children adopted from Ireland to access their records. Wouldn't the records that matter be in Ireland and not under US jurisdiction? What am I missing on this? I know I'm missing something. . . . I mean if she's campaigning for OBC access, that's great, but children born in Ireland would have an OBC in Ireland not the US.
