Hi everyone,
 
An off-list colleague of mine is beginning a paper on the image of adoption
and adopted children/adults in movies, and wanted to know if I would tap
into Screen-L's collective film expertise.
 
What movies have featured significant portrayals of the adoption process,
or have had characters who were adopted?  (Just to save folks from posting,
I know she already knows about the Problem Child and Omen series.)
 
Feel free to either post directly to me, or post to the list, but
regardless I'll post a "master list" of such films to the list after we get
a critical mass.
 
Thanks much!
