What are the contemporary stigmas about adoption that are included in this movie - that birth mothers are insane and will kidnap your kids if you put them up in your house or decide not to give up the baby at the last minute?
I'm adopted, but growing up, the stigmas I remember hearing (as the kid, vs the parent) were more like, "Your 'real mom' was probably a prostitute so that's why you had to be adopted." I came home from second grade one day and asked my mom what a prostitute was, LOL.
