This is a drama that deals with abortion, adoption and the issues surrounding adoptees looking for their birth parents. Probably doesn't go far enough in dealing with the trauma all this can bring to everyone involved, but its a start. You would need a lot more time to go into this sort of dilemma, but maybe the book would be a better option. Good movie as far as it goes.

This is an excellent film. I bought it after watching it at a church dinner. It is really touching and heartbreaking at the same time.

There was actually a surprising amount of humor in this film, considering the sobering topic. It was sensitively written with forgiveness a main theme and touching moments with birth mother,

This movie is well-done.
The content is overwhelming. If you've ever searched for your birth mother or gone through an abortion, it is very hard to take in.
This movie presents both sides of the issue very well.

I had heard great reviews of this movie and wanted to see it for myself. I was not disappointed. It catches your attention from the start - has humor in it, and really speaks to a person's heart about adoption, finding yourself, and abortion. The acting was excellent in the movie and it was a good wholesome movie.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but was touched very deeply by both Hannah and her search and her birth mothers ultimate reaction. The pain of her adoptive parents was also a very real and touching story. I was very touched by what the actress who played her birth mother had to say in the commentary. God used this as a wonderful healing tool for many lives, my friend that I watched it with being one of those. He always allows healing when the truth is revealed even though it hurts to get to that point. Wonderful heartfelt movie. Get your tissues ready!

This had a great story line with some interesting twists. The interview after the movie was shocking and made the movie all that much more important. I highly recommend it. The only thing I would change is that I would give her adoptive mother some more air-time. You don't see too much about their relationship.

This movie is such a touchy subject but it opens your heart to the real life reality of being pregnant. It is non judgemental but it shows forgiveness from everyone involved. I thought it was well done. It makes you laugh, cry and has a twist of romance in it. Great job!!

I know I am about to watch a great movie when I see Provident Films, But This was an O.K movie the only one that I was somewhat disappointed with though. with good theme and story just somewhat dragged on and on and soforth. anyways I am going to warn you if you are planning on watching the movie I am about to put somewhat of a SPOILER ALERT:) So overlook the next sentence if you don't want to know:)
The only part I really cried or my somewhat favorite part was when she was walking out of her moms work after being refused and saw her mom with a little girl.:( That must have been heartbraking....... anyways didn't really meet my expectations... but sort of good at the same time:)

At the beginning of the story I was not sure where it was going but as it progressed it got more and more interesting. I would give it a nine out of ten and my wife would give it a ten out of ten.

This was a very emotionally moving movie and I highly recommend it. We are going to view it as a church congretation on our 5th Sunday movie night.
