Chosen

I was adopted way back in the 1940s I was never in a situation to adopt but gladly would have if I could have This movie is for believers who know that we are all God's children and that He has commanded us to love one another and help raise his children in any way that is needed Any way big or small or in between Even if all you can do is encourage someone to help or just thank an adoptive parent for fostering or raising a child that is not their own If you will find a way to do anything at all for the children you will be blessed and you will be blessing future generations who will pay it forward.

Appreciate this attempt to shine a light on the broken foster care system. Low budget evident in production quality and some acting and writing is substandard and sometimes sappy, but it is a heartfelt movie with a good message about an important subject and worthy of a "7" rating for that reason.

Unfortunately, it paints fostering/adopting in an unrealistic manner. In my experience personally and based on others I know, it is hard, painstaking work. Abused children do not suddenly blossom once they are in a loving home. They often create severe strain on family life, sometimes for many years. This is not to discourage you from doing it but to help you do so with open eyes. They need and deserve our love.
