I stumbled upon a preview for the movie OctoberBaby last week and was moved instantly. Take a peek...
I knew right away I had to see this movie. When I saw a poster for OctoberBaby at our theater I did a little jump, clinched my hands and said, "It's here, it's here!!" The girls thought I'd lost it. I explained that it was about adoption!
Today Scott and I saw the movie. It isn't like my adoption story, but I think that no matter how you made it into this world and were then adopted, it will strike a chord. To know a woman gave you life and then gave you a new family, what bravery.
The ending gripped me. The main character tells her dad, "Thanks for wanting me." Oh my! The tears came later when I told Scott just how thankful I am that Julie wanted life for me, and my Mom and Dad wanted me! God knew exactly how this was all going to play out.
