This is a movie you want to see blindfolded and with the sound off.
But man oh man this is just amateur hour. I've seen better films on the dollar rental shelf back in the 90s.
One word to describe this movie is 'horrible.'
Seriously though, who funds this garbage?
The "plot" is allegorical and so basic. Why do films like this even get made? How do scripts like this get financed? Black mail? I don't get it. There are other parts where you will just shake your head and ask: Why?
Bad directing. Bad cinematography. Really bad acting. Boring plot with excessive dialog. That about sums it up.
If you want to waste your time, and I mean waste it to the point that there is not a single net benefit, this is your movie.

Pure garbage script and the acting is terrible!
Appearances Can Be Deceiving
This film scenario may be inspired by true events. But the way it unfolded left too many basic questions unanswered.
Bethany and Terrence are a nice couple who desperately want to adopt a child. In the opening scene, the couple inexplicably have their little adopted boy Gavin taken away from them at the behest of the biological mother. The film never explained the circumstances of the original adoption of Gavin that should have stipulated that the biological parents could no longer lay claim to legal custody.
Then, after experiencing the devastating loss of their little boy, Bethany and Terrence proceed to take into their home a complete stranger who is pregnant and apparently fleeing from an abusive boyfriend. Astonishingly, they pay for an apartment, purchase a car, hire a "midwife," and dole out $30,000 to the woman who makes only a verbal agreement to surrender the baby to them.
The moment-to-moment action in this film simply made no sense. The filmmakers were attempting to spin a message about feelings of inadequacy and unfulfillment related to the inability to become pregnant, as expressed by both Bethany and Georgia. But even that message did not ring true in the current enlightened age where the inability to get pregnant is never defined as personal shortcoming.
While the film was well-acted, its structure and message were muddled and unclear. Bethany and Terrence were far too trusting and seemed too naive about the litigious nature of our world. The more important message was that they were simply too trusting and unwilling to acknowledge that appearances can be deceiving.
