    In this case, everyone is a victim

    I caught this on LMN the other night. I followed this story for a long time and it seemed to grow worse and worse with time. I have heard that Kimberly Mays has had a hard time and really, if I had gone through what she did, I would not be much better off. She loses her mom at 2, loses a stepmom at 5 or 6 and finds out that she had a "first mommy", finds out that she is not the biological child of the man who raised her since birth when she is 10 and was caught in this custody battle for years. I can understand why Bob Mays reacted as he did. Also, can understand the Twiggs and their need to know Kimberly. Plus, what Arlena had to go through in her short life. Kimberly, Arlena, Bob Mays, the Twiggs......there is no bad guy; they were all victimized in a situation that had not come to light since the days of Solomon. I hope Kim will be able to find some security and happiness despite what she has been through. The movie was also good and everyone did well. Kudos to all! Well done!

    tear jerker...awesome movie!

    I happened to catch this movie last night on TV. This movie really touched me. It was so sad. I would like to tell everyone that it was a great movie and story, and if you haven't seen it. you got to! its a long movie too...it came on at 11:40 pm and it didn't go off till almost 3:00am...I just couldn't bare to go to sleep without watching the whole movie...and man was I tired too! LOL....well I am most diffidently gonna watch it again...it was that good. Loved it.... I told everyone too about the movie. I hope it comes on again soon. I felt so bad for Kimberly's father. the one that raised her from birth..He went through so much...Kim and her biological family too. I really felt in my heart that I went through every step of the way when them both. I really got into the movie..I couldn't stop crying! It was really emotional.

    I have met Kim

    I do not recall seeing the movie but I have met Kim personally and stumbled upon this story by accident. I love to Google people to see what I find and well I found this. Let me tell everyone she is doing great and because of her past I feel she has to be the strongest most beautiful woman I may have ever met. Kim is a wonderful mother to her daughters and yes she may have messed up in her past but darn I did too and I am sure you did. God forbid there would had been a camera following us. I have not met a women yet that was not molested or rape and it did not lead to fast behavior in some way at one point in their life but the bigger picture is that she is working to overcome her past and build a bright future.

    Excellent Movie

    I saw this movie first when I was about 'Kimberly's age, and I found it very interesting...I immediately got hooked on it, and I just saw it again on TV today...It's a very good movie about Kimberly Mays,who finds out she was switched at birth even after losing her mother, and step mother. Her Biological family goes on a search for her and is trying to meet her just so they can meet their child, after their daughter, Arlena, passed away. (robert mays' biological child)It was a very moving movie, and I am going to try and buy it, because it is so good. The thought of having to go through all of what she did is amazing...definitely two thumbs up!

    great movie

    This movie was something I just happen to come across on a rainy day, and I am glad I did, this was an excellent movie, all the acting was well done! This is one I will love to watch again, and if this ever happened to me, or I was the lawyer representing the Twiggs, I would have said to only get visitation rights, because she may be their biological daughter, but your parents are the people who raised you, and that's the most important thing in your life! Other family dramas with this sort of situation I could really recommend are "Flight of the Navigator", "The Majestic", and the one episode of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' called "Suddenly Human". watch them all, they are all very good!
