I almost never write reviews but after seeing some of the reviews from ppl talking about how fake it is, and how the foster system isn't like this, or they should've had their own kids, or it's all PC BS, I feel like I have to write this review. I'm a foster mom. Been licensed in 2 different counties, been through the classes and all that twice. This movie is very accurate. It is a Hollywood film and they did add some cheesy lines and jokes, but it doesn't diminish the movie. The classes are like that, they do have adoption fairs like that and the 1st few months of any new placement are SO HARD. If anything this movie doesn't make it look hard enough, but it's supposed to be entertaining. If they made the foster stuff any more real it would be a documentary. Coming from a foster parent, I really liked this movie a lot and would recommend it. To any other foster/adoptive parents reading this, you may want to view it first before you show it to your kids. *Spoiler Alert* There is a part of the movie where they talk about giving the kids back, which is totally real, I've had that talk, but it could be very upsetting to a child to hear that.
