January 30, 2018 by David Barringer Leave a Comment

I'm not married to the same woman I married back in 1998. Let me clarify. I'm married to the same human, but she's not the same person. Really, neither one of us are.

Warning: spoilers ahead! Good movies about adoption don’t come around often. The faith-based realm gave us Bella (2006) and October Baby (2011). The animated/family genre delivered Stuart Little (1999), Meet the Robinsons (2007) and — in a quirky way — Despicable Me (2010). And in the mainstream adult-centric category, we’ve had Lion (2016), August Rush […]
