    I loved this film. Didn't make adoption or Foster look like a walk in the park but showed how a sense of humour can really make a huge change in how you see things.

    My friend had foster girls and she was such an awesome mom. The girls wouldn’t allow the adoption but that’s their choice. So sad, my friend was such an awesome mom. She’s been wanting the be a mom all her life.

    And what they don’t tell you about the foster care system is that half of them don’t really need to be there. They take for the wrong reason sometimes. If you get adopted by there foster care parent they still get paid money even after adoption. Which is really a waste because if that child wear to go home to their real parent they wouldn’t have that money. A lot of the times if the child is put up for adoption they try to look for bio family but the foster care parent gets first choice at adopting if they’ve been there for more than a year. This often separating siblings from one another. Often times a lot of the foster homes don’t have enough room to take a whole bunch of siblings all at once so siblings get split up. In most cases the foster parent only does what’s really needed that clothing food there’s no hugs there’s no love these children are often mentally illegally because of it. They often will not take a child over 12 even if they’re from is extremely abusive home because often times that child will just run away again. The whole Family Guy” where to old to ever be adopted no one wants a nine-year-old “very very true. And it’s true because everybody assumes that if there overnight and they probably already have some traumatize mental disorder that’s not easily handled. Even though foster parents do you get more money for the disabled child often times the child’s needs are still not met. These children often bounce from home to home because of mental disorders they cannot control themselves often act out. But I I get it nobody really wants to talk about the negative side of foster care or CPS and how crooked and corrupt they are. No one really wants to see how unfair it is for a foster parent to get $900 or more per kid but only to spend it on themselves and fake receipts looking like they spent on the kids when they actually only spent that money on their real kids not the foster or the adopted. Can’t tell you how many times my mom off and use receipts from her own children to fake foster care to receive an order to get clothing money. An extra 500 a month. It really is a truly corrupt system and from the outside you will never know. The day you turn 18 even if you are adopted the foster parent has the right to kick you out when the money stops change the locks and you may never return home. This often happens more than you know a child will outgrow the foster care system and be instantly put out on the street at the age of 18 because there’s no longer any help for them. If the money stops for any reason at all the children often gets kicked out of the home. I’ve often seen foster parents lied about a child just to get more disability or Child subsidy money. You can go to five different doctors and if you get one that says what do you need them to say submit that. Get you a few extra hundred bucks to drive the kids to their appointment that you often cancel because they’re in school. The requirements to get your kids back are ridiculous. For somebody of low minimum wage. Your kids can also get taken away for a simple lie somebody else reporting over something getting mad vindictive seen that happen before too. Had children in foster care for just 24 hours because the Mexican families home was too messy. Do they need more foster families yes but what they also need is less corrupt people taking kids for Unneeded reasons. We should almost go back to the point where a child should not be in foster care in less they are orphaned. Because it is just a bit unfair to take a child away from my family just because they’re poor and have financial issues that stress out the adult in the family. Because it is so not fair to take a child away from a family that would be better off with the 800 in their wallet for their own child. It is actually been proven that countries where they give a child their own spending money helps out the family not be so stressed. But most cases foster care is really just a way to pick on the poor, And redistribute wealth.

    Since I was a little girl, I've always wanted to adopt. The other day I was talking to my coworkers and I mentioned that if I ever get married, I'd like to become a foster family, sadly their gut reactions were to mention how tough it is and how damaged most kids from foster care are.. Well duh, that's why they need a good and loving home.

  18. Mary McGowan says

    We are thrilled to be hosting this and as an adoptive parent of 5 I know this will hit home. Bravo for doing this long overdue film

  19. Christian Villareal says

    I hope Anders does the Daddy’s Home spinoff focusing on Sara Whitaker and Karen Mayron.

  23. TRELWP says

    Finally an original movie coming out

  24. Jasmine Rae says

    I'm looking forward to this movie to watch the entire process happen and prepare myself. I also hope people are more understanding about people who choose to adopt or foster, because so many people my husband and I encounter try to discourage us because of all the negatives.

  25. Trevor Johnson says

    OMG, as someone who was adopted, this is just making me cry. This movie hits home for me so much. I'm really excited to see it.
