"Child birth is an act of nature.
Adoption is an act of God."
Adoption is an act of God."
From the Baby for Sale movie starring Dana Delaney & Hart Bochner (2004). It's based on a true story and led to making child trafficking illegal in New York.
I just finished blubbing through the last 10 minutes of this movie. I've seen bits of it before but not the whole thing, which I watched today. For most of it I rolled my eyes at the cheesiness of it. You know, all the usual sappy moments; mom holding baby and whispering "I love you" before she hands the child over to social services, all the heroics involved in saving this baby from the bad, bad man, mom-to-be ignoring the FBI and following her gut to save the baby, all that gawd awful music. I couldn't abide the insipid, stereotypical dialogue. But those last few minutes - whoa boy! I had to stumble to the kitchen to grab a Kleenex so I could see the last few minutes.
And that quote - WOW! Best part of the movie.
