    The synopsis of this movie is a total lie. He isn't given up for adoption. He had been aborted. This is a Christian right movie that proselytizes about the sins of abortion and all of the characters in the "hotel" where Della Reese plays 'the maid" are actually aborted fetuses and what they would have become according to "God's plan" had they not been aborted. This is not entertainment.

    Extreme right-wacko religious poo. Objectivity and common sense vanishes in this preachy goo. Think poo and goo and you have an idea of the core of this movie.

    A little slow and a little confusing at the end, but I'm a pro-life advocate and enjoyed it anyway. I think the overall message would challenge both pro-life and pro-choice sides to really think. A moving film
