The Lisa Life: The Love of Parents On a whim, I bought fl and white film and also on a whim, took fl and white portraits of all the families individually with the woods and all the wildflowers as backdrop.

Casa de los Babys (2003) - About the Production In the film, adoption -specifically foreign adoption by American families -- is seen through the subjective eyes of everyone involved including the prospective mothers, birth mothers, lawyers, officials and the children themselves. The film is set in an undisclosed South American country where there is a lengthy residence requirement for adoptive parents (at the time of filming, Chile had the most similar regulations.) Mexico itself allows very few 'foreign' adoptions and has large, state-controlled orphanages and quite a bit of de-facto adoption within extended families. Whereas in adoption it is often this abstract notion of who-knows-which child who will become available who-knows-when - an abstract idea in a geographical void - and then there is a phone call from a bureaucrat and suddenly you're a parent. www.hollywoodjesus.com /casa_delos_babys_about.htm   (1996 words)

Adoption in Film by Marley Greiner - Birthmother Experience The terms, "orphan’ and “foundling” are often euphemisms, especially in older films, for “illegitimate” or “bastard” and was understood as such by the audience for which the films were made. D.W. Griffith:    Many adoption films are family melodramas, and from the earliest films, the wronged woman and her child - wronged by husbands and fathers, parents, reformers or social workers - have been the subject of film.
