    Oh! Such an amazing story of redemption, second chances, and love!

    So many of my favorite actors were in this film. These were characters that I could relate to on so many levels. This film reminded me that even though we make mistakes in the past, there is ALWAYS opportunity to grow from it and experience the kind of life of being and sharing love!

    Bravo! This was a really great movie!

    Looking forward to the next big thing from Siddeeqah (Sid) Powell

    It is 2013 and Somebody's Child is still very popular. I would like to wish Lynn Whitefield good luck in receiving the EMMY PRIME TIME NOMINATION FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN SOMEBODY'S CHILD. Siddeeqah Powell is a very talented, creative and relevant writer, Somebody's Child is just the beginning of a very promising career. I hope Sid will continue to be inspired and inspire others, and always give back to the next generation of writers. We are looking for great things from Sid, I am sure the remaining months of 2013 and beyond, Sid will share her many writing talents, with her TV audience and the Big Screen as well. There is a desire and need especially in the African American Community for positive, up lifting images and the need to celebrate those in our community who are making a positive contribution. We are waiting for your next big thing Sid so keep us posted on all social media outlets. We will continue to support your uplifting Screen Plays and feature films. Thank you for "Somebody's Child" and your 2 Stage Plays, "What Would You Do For Love" and "Love Will Find A Way" they were both excellent, great cast and great writing. God Bless and keep up the great work.

    LIFE ON LIFE'S TERMS

    My watching of this movie was not a coincidence, but it was! This movie came on after another movie that I had been watching. At the age of 65 my adoptive family found me after casual DNA testing. The plot progression piqued my curiosity constantly. For me it clarifies why I must accept living life on life's terms. Thankfully for me this movie fortifies some of the assumptions That many of us contemplate over the course of our lives. The actor's portrayal of their characters was sincere and heartwarming. No spoiler alert from me, enjoy following the twists and the turns as they reveal themselves.

    An amazing story about life and the power of faith, belief and forgiveness

    "Somebody's Child" is a story we can all relate to, we have all had to make decisions in life that were painful, in some cases we felt were unforgivable, at the time we also felt we had no other choice. If you haven't, you haven't lived long enough. This story confirms that with faith, belief and the ability to forgive, we may be given a second chance, a chance to redeem ourselves. LOVE CONQUERS ALL! redemption is what we all want, a chance to be forgiven for what we consider a unforgivable act, a chance to make it right. I can't wait for the next movie by this creative writer, way to go Sid on your first Screenplay. We wish you much success, we will be cheering for you to WIN that EMMY, and Oscar, GOD BLESS.
