America, A Lifetime Movie

Published by oldwestmom at 4:38 pm under Adoption Edit This

Hope everyone’s weekend is treating them well!!!

While I do not condone television viewing (I’m pretty convinced that TV…and especially the cable company…are hellion devil spawn) there is a special on tonight I wanted to promote.

Maybe I should check for a product affiliate link for this…at least then I could get paid for promoting a reason to park our butts on a couch for 2 hours.  

Nah…that takes too long, and I’m not in the mood.  This is what happens when I haven’t seen the sun for 3 days.  I get cranky.  It’s rather unpleasant.

Anyway, there is a movie on Lifetime tonight called America.  Click here to link for more info.

It’s a movie about a teenage boy who has been in foster care since he was an infant and is about to age out of the system.  It stars Rosie O’Donnell as his therapist, and is based on the book by E.R. Frank.

I’m intrigued, so I’ll be recording it.  It might be a few days before I get around to watching it, but look for a future topic to be a review of this movie.

As Rosie is also an adoptive mother, I’m really hoping they have an overall positive message and great need of these kids.  

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a movie do for foster kids what 101 Dalmatians did for Dalmatians, or Men In Black did for pugs?  One can dream…

    Because I agree that cable is a hellion devil spawn, I don’t have cable. You’ll have to let me know how the show goes.

    And I never watch TV. I wouldn’t be expecting the world from a cable movie, but I also hope it’s positive.

    I suppose that’s why we’re on here blogging, instead of using our limited free time to stare at the tube. Kindred spirits all.

    Is America a fiction or non-fiction?
