List of Adoption – Themed Movies

movie tickets

PLEASE NOTE: We recommend that parents always view an adoption-themed movie first to determine its appropriateness for THEIR child. While we believe that foster care and adoption-themed movies can be a great vehicle for opening the door to conversations about foster care and adoption, parents should always determine if they feel comfortable exposing their child to a movie’s story, messages or themes. It is also important for parents to be aware of foster care and adoption-themed movies that their children’s non-adopted peers are likely viewing. Movies can influence children’s attitudes about foster and adoptive families.
