@Cameron Evans sorry to hear that. That's a shame, truly. But you should focus your attention on your actual friends and family and not people that wanna make a joke and be funny just because they have it easier than you
Cameron Evans screw them. Your adoptive parents chose you. That makes you special. That probably gives you a bond far better than what you would have had with your bio parents. Treasure and remember that. Those making fun of you are just *ickheads.
@Cameron Evans You can say: "your parents are the joke. My real parents left me and I survived, I live and be happy with new family. How about you guys? Making fun of me is your happy and fun. *spit*, Pathetic"
Lizzy's voice trembling as she tries her best to hold back tears feels insanely accurate for me. She just absolutely nailed what people sound like in moments like those. Everything about this scene is so sweet.
I was in Foster care but i never was adopted. I related to Lizzie in so many ways but i always hated my birth family for giving up on me and my twin brother . I was fostered when i was 3 years old and i remember when i was teenager when my mom tried to reach my birth mom i refused i was so mad. At the world back then i wasnt Rebelious or anything i was Just Hurt. My biological father died trying to heal himself off alcohol
" When you graduate high school, we are gonna sit in the row embarrassing you,and then we are gonna sit in the row embarrassing you again when you graduate from college " LOL.
This movie proves that while a mother and son/a father and daughter bond is special, a father and son bond/a mother and daughter bond is deep and just as special.
I wish all families were real families and followed that quote. Not in terms of forcing things, but in terms of valuing everyone the same and taking care of everyone instead of the majority
Having been adopted twice, I can say I understand being in the system and feeling unwanted and angry. Laying awake all night staring at the bedroom door scared someone will come in, and recoiling when someone even tries to touch you. Even today I hate hugs and being touched.
A hug, a big warm hug of encouragement and consolation is what many of us need in life, before, right now, at the right time before the person feels abandoned by those who remain. I love Isabela Moner, I am a forgotten follower of her, I consider myself Isabela's best friend no matter that she is a famous celebrity from the far away industry, I think about her and miss her, and I usually believe that she needed so many hugs and I even more, nothing is more beautiful in life than a strong hug from Isabela, that girl overflowing with pure love 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️😭😭😭
I still haven't been able to watch this movie without crying yet i have watched it about 5 times including at the theatre. I even remember waiting untill the movie died down so when i left the theater no one would see me crying hahaha
Both, actually. My family is the one I was born into, I adore them and wouldn't trade them for anything, but still, there also, for example, the people who were adopted and born after my birth, like my brother (biological) and my sisters (adopted), so it was also made by time, you are right.
I watched this movie while we were in the middle of fostering our daughter. I prayed for this happy ending… 12 months later, our adoption was finalized.
It is, although not every time. I know of several foster care stories that ended with the kids being adopted by great families and being happy. It's not like everything is easy, being a foster kid is hard and they'll need to heal from that, but having a happy family is already helpful, according to some of them.
He needs to do more movies like this than the ones he always does. He's a better actor than anyone gives him credit; surprise, a surprise. Adam Sandler is looked down on cause he does the same comedic roles in meh to terrible films, but when he gets involved in a good, deep movie, he shines and thank god he's getting more recognition. And I hope the same happens to Mark.
It has always happened, actually, not just "today". My greatgrandma was badly abused by her mom, who once even threw her against something that had boiling water in it and made her get burnt. And maybe Liz's mother does love her kids, she just can't fight her drug addiction.
If only Lizzie knew that from the beginning they had picked her and wanted her. They wanted her even before they found out about her siblings. She was always their first choice.
As a foster child i was very angry at my biological mother for giving me up because i didnt understend the whole story my biological father died trying to heal himself off the alcohol. I dont remember much from being taken by social workers. As i was barely a baby but i do know that we lived in a poor state . I was in a system until i was 3 years when i was fostered so thats good . I love my stepparents so much .but me and my birth mother we dont talk as much something in me is telling me not to let people back in.
I've wanted to be a foster parent for a while now. This movie cemented my decision...to take in older kids and siblings so the state doesn't split them up
