I don’t think I can say it often enough, but I really believe that every adoption experience is quite personal and while I have to admit there are alot of differences between myself and Juno, I cried when I saw this movie. It rang true for me in a way that no other fictional portrayal of adoption ever has. No, I didn’t look in Penny Shopper for adoptive parents. No, I wasn’t in high school when I embarked on my journey as a birthmother. However, there were aspects and elements of the movie that hit so close to home that I saw it in the theater several times and I dragged friends to see it. I laughed and cried, just like real life…wonderfully done.
You can catch the trailer here:

I remember seeing a pic or poster about this, but nothing else. I watched the trailer here and am looking forward to seeing the film. One of the things that I most love about art, literature and films is the opportunity to get another perspective.
I’ve heard alot of criticism of Juno, but I must say it still rings true for me today, the way it did the first time I saw it.
