Review

This powerful movie demonstrates what can happen to foster children when they are placed in a positive adoption situation. The main points emphasized are include the bonding that takes place in a loving adoptive home, and the strength that can be unlocked through effective guidance and mentoring. Sandra Bullock's role is well-played, and the other actors perform their parts well. There are moments of adult content and mild violence.
