I think the first time I saw this movie, I couldn't have been more than 5. It didn't make much sense to me at the time, but many years later, and countless hours asking dad to let me watch "his movie," I finally understood the meaning of this film. For the longest time it was just a movie about a family of kids being adopted out. When I got older, I started to recognize names: Linda, Carl, Warren, Frank. This movie was about my family, my grandmother, my father.
I am the only daughter of Warren L. Wehmeyer (Frey), and I have one brother, Frank, named after my Uncle Frank. This movie is very passionate, and I can't ever watch it without crying. It is probably one of the saddest, most true-to-life movies I have ever seen. It is heartfelt and full of love.
