Editorial Reviews

A compelling true story of a father who goes to court to fight for his right to keep his adopted daughter. Unable to conceive a child, Kim Lussier (Teri Polo) loses no time investigating adoption. To her husband, Keith (Andrew McCarthy), the adoption process seems like a remote possibility, until he sees a picture of his daughter to be, whom they name Brittany. When Kim is suddenly diagnosed with cancer, it seems that their dream of becoming parents may not come true. But, she receives a positive prognosis and the adoption process continues. With Kim recovering from surgery and weakened by chemotherapy, Keith assumes most of the parental responsibilities when Brittany comes home. Then, Kim’s illness recurs and soon Keith is a single parent. With barely any time for Keith to grieve, the agency refuses to finalize his adoption of Brittany and places her in another home. All of Keith’s time and energy must now be devoted to preparation for the most important battle of his life. He lost his wife but he will not lose his child.

When I saw this movie a few years ago it was called A Father For Brittany, since I'm a fan of made for tv movies I watched and I was crying right from the start I thought it was about time that they make a movie where they show that men actually do like being fathers and that they fight just has hard if not harder for their children as any woman. I love this love and can't wait to get the dvd.

This movie makes me cry everytime I watch it because it is a true story. I love Andrew McCarthy and Teri Polo. They also starred together in another lifetime movie called Straight from the heart.... great chemistry. I love ordering dvd's from Amazon. I always get them in perfect condition and very quickly.

This is a moving true story. I was not impressed with Andrew
McCarthy in the movie. I think they could have found a better actor. It was nice to see Michael Learned in the role as an employee of the adoptive agency. Since she will always be remembered as 'Olivia Walton'.It was nice to see her playing a different role and doing a nice job. This movie will have you crying both tears of sadness and joy.Highly Recommend it.
