Have you ever seen the real story? I remember crying watching the officials rip that black child out of the arms of that mother. The daughter she had got into deep depression,etc.

I didn't need to see that movie to know it's a crock. The National Black Social Workers Union was the worst thing ever to happen to adoption.

No, I didn't know anything about the real story. Stay away from this movie, though, unless you want a good blood boil. For example, Halle's character, who should have been arrested for attempted murder, or at the very least child endangerment, gets the child back simply because "that child needs a black mother." In court, the white woman who adopted the black child is grilled because she has not yet read the toddler any books on black history. So the courts decide it is best for the child to go back to a total stranger (who tried to kill him) who cannot even read at all. And so the whole thing goes...

When a friend tells Halle's character that her son is still alive, she says, "I just assumed he was dead." Then she decides that she should get the child back with the help of Samuel L. Jackson...
