The movie. Yeah, THAT movie, the one people are talking about in the adoption community.
You know, vietK has the right idea — go to the source. He has questions, so he has asked them, very respectfully, of the writer of the movie herself.
He already has a few answers, not from the writer but from her mother-in-law, who has said:
Without attempting to answer for her, Ms. Diablo Cody is married to an adoptee, and I am blessed to be the birthmom of her phenomenal and wonderful husband. I can say that she was instrumental in helping him with his search for me, and she has been more that intimately involved with his feelings and emotions before and during our reunion. The rest, I will leave up to her to say…
Not an endorsement of the movie on my part. But I still can’t condemn it. Haven’t seen it nor have I read the script.
Hey folks, I’m a librarian; what can I say? Whenever I have prejudged something like this, whether it be a book or a movie, I’ve regretted it because it goes against what my professional background tells me to do.
Yay, vietK! I’ll be interested to see if you receive answers, and if so, what those answers are.
