Not all stories of adoption are stories of pain and regret. Not even most of them. Why dont we ever get that movie?
India Allwood grew up wanting to be an actor. Armed with a stack of index cards (for research/line memorization/make-shift confetti), she goes from awkward sixteen-year-old to Broadway ingenue to TV superhero.
Her new movie is a prestige picture about adoption, but its spin is the same old tired story of tragedy. India is an adoptive mom in real life though. She wants everyone to know theres more to her family than pain and regret. So she does something you should never do she tells a journalist the truth: its a bad movie.
Soon shes at the center of a media storm, battling accusations from the press and the paparazzi, from protesters on the right and advocates on the left. Her twin ten-year-olds know they need help and who better to call than family? But thats where it gets really messy because Indias not just an adoptive mother
The one thing she knows for sure is what makes a family isnt blood. And it isnt love. No matter how theyre formed, the truth about family is this: it’s complicated.
