A very emotional rollercoaster. Inspiring and hopeful for those who choose to make a difference in foster care. Enjoyed the movie based on a true story.
I was very impressed with the actors and storyline. They stayed true to the story and did not pull any punches. Gut wrenching scenes and disturbing interaction with situations that arise from children in our foster care system.
What a selfless act by families you strive and bring home children and seek to provide them love, hope, and support. It is great to see some of those in our country who chooses to love beyond words but choose to love in action.

Inspires viewers to intentionally make their lives more difficult
... for the sake of "the least of us." Theological differences aside, it's a solid film about an inspiring event that we in the faith should not overlook. It is a film that does not pull any punches- its PG13 rating is well deserved. Going into it, I was afraid the filmmakers would try to make adoption look easy. They did not. As they show, it can be a downright terrifying experience. There are scenes where the adoptive parents are in full-on regret mode. But, as explained in the movie, we have not been created to live easy lives. We live to carry the burden of others like Christ did. Mr. And Mrs. Martin, as well as their congregation, show us what this looks like.
Not Family-friendly; take PG-13 seriously
This is not a feel-good movie of the week. This movie has intense scenes of child abuse and neglect. It also shows realistic trauma for foster and adopted kids.
I went to see this in the theater with my wife and three children (ages 10, 11, and 11). I assumed it got the PG-13 rating for a few minor swears. My kids have seen pg-13 movies before, and with discernment, I've felt fine about it. I did not feel fine watching this with them; I was a little horrified about how serious some of the scenes were. This needs more of a PG-15 rating. This is for mature young adults-not kids.
This movie handles the issues delicately and not graphically, but it looks at the trauma full in the face. It doesn't sensationalize the abuse, but it doesn't shy away from it either.
I probably would have enjoyed it more without my kids, but for their sakes I was ready to walk out a number of times.
Otherwise, the story was good, acting good. It was a fine production.
Parents be ware though. This is not a movie for your whole family.
