The lives of three women have a commonality: adoption. Karen is a physical therapist who regrets that, as a teenager, she gave up her daughter for adoption. Elizabeth was an adopted child and is now a successful lawyer, but her personal life lacks warmth. Lucy and her husband have failed to conceive and now hope to adopt a baby to make their family complete.
Mother and Child is a 2009 drama exploring adoption through three interconnected stories: a woman confronting her decision to give up her daughter years ago, an adopted lawyer struggling with emotional isolation, and a couple pursuing adoption to complete their family. Released in November 2009, the film weaves together themes of loss, identity, and the search for connection across generations.
