I saw this movie and thought…

•Doesn’t the child have a say-so?

•Which is more important to a child’s welfare, blood or emotional ties (now vs later)?

My mother was adopted, both my brother and sister spent time in foster homes… so this is my second-hand experience on the Subject:

•My brother appeared to care less about his biological roots!

•My mother seemed somewhat obsessed regarding hers!

So, in the movie, which would have been the right choice? Well if you simply play the odds (I have no clue what the odds or ratios are)… But I can say with reasonable certainty that would prefer to grow up with their people (biologically speaking), while others would likely prefer to go to a loving home -even if that means separation from their biological family*.

*My brother seems to place much more weight on the foster parents who offered stability vs the biological parent(s) which offered little stability -and also gave him up in the first place (made a ward of the state actually -both of us were).
