I haven't had the chance to see Lifemark, but I can't wait for when I do. This is particularly close to my heart because I am adopted. I had always wondered about my birthmother and what happened. I searched for many years and the Lord opened the door for me to find her. I found out that my birth mother was taken advantage of when she was 12 years old, and she gave birth to me on her 13th birthday. That just shook me to the core, first of all that she was so young and second that I was created from a horrible situation. I was so thankful to her for choosing adoption. I also found out at that time that I had a younger half sister. I never had a sister and I am so thankful to the Lord for her. We don't live close, but we do keep in touch. Thank you Kendrick brothers for doing movies like this. I have watched all of your movies except this one and I love them all. Thank you also Kirk Cameron for sharing the gospel in all that you do!!
Have tissues ready!!!

Awwww, this is so emotional😢 GOD bless your soul❤
It's so amazing that Kirk Cameron has been able to stay out of scandal for a lifetime considering he was a star at such an early age. God bless you and your sister. You are an inspiration.
Thank you for sharing this. I too gave up a son for adoption. It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made.What got me through it was talking about it. Hardly a day goes by when I don't think about him. God bless their family.
And God bless you for giving a life to this world. You made a couple very happy, thanks to you, there is another family on Earth. 💖🌷
That is so wonderful that you did it for him. You are very strong and brave. G-d bless you
@@rhonda8231 Thank you and God bless you.

Now CPS will funnel that child into child trafficking!! Yes that’s what the government mafia does to kids,, child trafficking through cps!!
I had my precious son in High School.I was left with the desicion whether to relinquish him for adoption or keep him...I decided base on my home environment that I wanted to give him the best chance for a better life. When he was in his early 30's I contacted the Adoption Agency to say I would like to meet him. They contacted me after hey met with him. He said he was not closed to the idea but was not ready.The day I hoped for never came because he died at 37...It was like losing him twice. I do not regret my desicion but I would like to speak into an issue I feel needs to be addressed...We hope women will consider giving their babies up for adoption instead of abortion but I believe that we have to be commited to that woman in terms of help her dealing with the grief of losing that child...sometimes I feel the adoption stories can be presented as one big happy story but for myself it took a long time to recover from this loss...I have spoken to many birthmothers who share that pain
Adoption is the heart of God. After all, we’ve been adopted into the family of God.
Well said sis 👌
A most beautiful way of defining God ‘s part of adoption. It’s all about His love for each of us.
Adoption into the family of God is between 2 consenting people. This kind of adoption is not the same. I am so sick and tired of people trying to use the Biblical adoption as why women should give their babies away. It's a cruel and heartless thing to do. Mothers should keep their babies. I wish they would make it a crime to shove propaganda down a mother's throat when she's pregnant. And adoption is NOT an alternative to abortion.
How beautiful and wise. Many thanks.
So true, never thought of it like that. ♥️
I’m here today due to the Adoption Option! Loved Life Mark! I lived much of this movie and more. Imagine finding out your sister lived 2.5 miles away growing up and you attended the same Highschool! Much more to this story.
Kirk, our church showed this movie last night. We absolutely loved it. We cried and laughed. Thank you.
Melissa Coles is a amazing lady, for going thru the child birth.... bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Giving a child away to adoption has got to be the toughest thing a mom can do, but man what a great choice versus the alternative!!
No, keeping your baby is the thing to do. There's absolutely no reason why a woman has to REJECT her baby today. None. Or 20 years ago. She could have kept her son, but she didn't want him. How is that "great"?
I am so thankful I had access to safe, legal abortion when I needed it. I would rather have died than to stay pregnant and give birth. So, I chose life- MY LIFE.
@@iamcasiharthow long did you carry the fetus/baby until the abortion?
@@samsmom400 Not true, it is not necessarily rejecting your baby as you are saying. There is understanding the situation, there is realizing that the father is not up for the job and does not want to be the dad. There are sometimes narcissitic individuals involved that can make life hell for the child, I should know, I was one of them and very likely would have been far better off to be put up for adoption, this film really hit me realizing how much better of this child was in the hands of parents that actually wanted him.
@@iamcasihart And YOU are the one that must live with what you have done.
Thank you for sharing this. i am a woman who gave up my son in a private adoption. i loved him while he was with me in my womb and have his ultrasound today. If the Lord allows & we meet, i would like his mom to have it to put in his baby book.
i have prayed for him and his family for his whole life. God bless this wonderful family who has loved my son for me.
Only a sociopath can say something like that. In which case, thank goodness you gave your baby away. A normal mother grieves for her baby.
🤮
@@samsmom400 She gave her baby up for adoption. She didn't murder it in her womb.
God bless you Suzanne for loving your beautiful son. I always think of Moses' birth mother who risked everything to save her son's life. You will be rewarded for trusting God.
@@gritsgalraisedinthesouth She did that at the point of death, you're completely twisting scripture to make it fit your needs.
That's what "Christians" do, people who follow Jesus know this has NOTHING to do with what God wants.
Infant ADOPTION is of Satan and Satan is using people like you to troll innocent women into thinking this is something they should do. SHAME ON YOU!!
If you're going to use scripture, don't forget the story of the woman who wanted a baby so bad that she stole it from a woman and then they went to the king to ask them what they should do. In order to find out who the REAL mother was, he commanded the baby to be cut in half and they could each a part. The FAKE mother was said, "Yes, cut the baby in half!" Because she was so greedy and selfish she only cared about what she wanted. The REAL mother cried out and was willing to lose her child for the baby's sake. THEN the king knew who the real mother was. THAT is the perfect picture of adoption in this country. AND YOU'RE OK WITH THAT. SHAME ON YOU!!
A follower of Christ knows that adoption is coveting. Christians are called to HELP the widow and orphans. A widow is a woman that doesn't have a husband.
This randomly came up on You Tube for me and as I watched it, my heart was hooked. I’m the adoptive mom who had that precious baby placed in my arms 45 years ago after being told I would never have children. I was heartbroken, but God had better plans for me. He knew that soon a little baby girl would need a mom and dad to love her, and after 3 years, that newborn baby was born and was placed in my arms. At age 20, our beautiful daughter found her birth mother and three half siblings. Our daughter knows we’re mom and dad, but this other family has greatly enriched her life, and it gave closure to the birth mom who always carried a burden for the daughter she gave up for adoption. We are even blessed with a wonderful 12-year-old grandson who has so many people that love him. The blessings keep coming. There are amazing options, and abortion never needs to be one of those options.
I feel certain you're lying. It's amazing how many people come here with these sob stories and I'm surrounded by children who've been rejected and mothers and it's a whole different story. This is all propaganda. I feel sorry for any woman / girl who is having to read all these lies. So many have been fooled by this technique before. I am here to debunk the lies. It's hell. It's a hell that keeps on giving. The adoptive parents are RARELY involved in the reunification process IF THERE IS ONE. And when and IF there's reunification, it rarely goes well. IF it does go well at first, it doesn't last long. Those are the stats.
🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@samsmom400 No, I’m not lying and since you haven’t walked in my shoes, there’s no way for you to judge what I say. My husband and I are confident in the love we have for our daughter and the love she gives back to us. Our hearts have been very open to receiving our daughter’s birth family into our story. We have loved the birth mother since we received our baby girl, and we have always spoken very highly of her and have always been ever so grateful for the difficult decision she made to hand her baby over to strangers. I promised her when I received her baby 45 years ago that I would always love her child and take care of her. I have kept that promise. When our daughter decided to locate her birth mother, we did not stand in her way, and I was anxious for her to see the beautiful woman she had become. So for you to say it is all lies could not be further from the truth. My heart is large enough to include the woman who gave birth to my child and then loved her enough to place her in my arms.
@@marilyndukat2652 You know what I've seen? Adoptive fathers who never really wanted to adopt, but went along with it to make their wives happy. And then as that little girl grows up he's attracted to her and thinks to himself, "Well, she's not really my blood, so we can have sex." So, the daughter is molested and raped by her "father" and "brothers". Woody Allen comes to mind, one of many!
@@marilyndukat2652 don't let some idiot on CZcams make you feel bad😉🙂
My husband and I adopted twin boys they are 4 years old now. We also have a biological daughter we had prior to the adoption. We knew we wanted more children. It’s all a miraculous story (it’s to much to type) but I’m so thankful God heard our prayers and blessed us with our boys! I’m SO GRATEFUL the biological mom did not abort them. Anyone considering abortion please hear me…don’t do it. My boys are absolutely amazing and the love we have them is beyond anything I can share. I’m so thankful for adoption ❤️❤️
I have a question. Do you believe in spanking? I want to adopt but that's what stops me. We discipline with spanking too but I don't want to traumatize a child who had been physically abused
God opens and closes wombs. I hope they don't end up like some of the adopted kids I know and kill themselves.
@ Vicky Andersen I think it’s important to disciple based off the child. I’m am adoptive mom and I’m not against spanking but if there was a child that was physically abused then that could be traumatizing and should be avoided. Thankfully there is lots of different ways to motivate and correct children without spanking.
Please watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. Then Following Padre Pio. Look up Eucharist miracle of Lanciano in 700AD. Also Eucharist miracle of Bolsena in 1263AD. Then the recent Eucharist miracle in Mexico watch on Fr Goring’s video channel. God bless.

I had an opportunity to share at a presentation today in SE South Dakota where I told my adoption story and read a poem I had written just a few months before my birth mom contacted me when I was 45 years old. Melissa was there as was the actress who played her in Lifemark. It’s always difficult for me to get through my story, especially my poem without tears. When I finished and was leaving the podium, Melissa had come forward unbeknownst to me, held her arms out, enveloped me and we both just sobbed and I thanked her for choosing life for her son, just as my birth mom did for me 72 years ago! As I watched this video later today, I realized that our story had even more in common including her son's concern for his adoptive parents, that David worried that they might feel replaced or that he was searching for more. Lifemark is an amazing story about choosing life and adoption! Thank you to all who had a part in it, especially Melissa and David for sharing their story and their Christian witness!
My twin and I were adopted at 3 months old by an Angel, we met out birth Mum at age 8 because my maternal Grandmother wanted to meet and know us, we met 3 other siblings all brothers but still stayed with our adopted Mum, she loved us like no other and made so much sacrifices to give us the very best life she could and she did by introducing us to Christ. She read the Bible to us at her knees and prayed every single morning and evening and lived out loud her faith. She adopted many others along the way and none of us would have wanted it any other way. We gather each year for a family reunion either here in America or our birth country and we have the best times ever! She's in heaven now but we remember and celebrate her with such deep fondness and love. We live in a few different countries but we stay connected. Some of us maintain relationships with our birth families today but she is the Grand Dame of all mothers to us and always will be and we Thank God for the blessing of this wonderful Angel! Adoption over abortion I'd take every time! God bless every parent who choose us adoptees!❤️
You were rejected at birth. They didn't want you. I'm so sorry.
@@samsmom400 I know a girl in my hometown who got pregnant by at 15 year old when she was 13. They couldn't care for a baby, she was way too young. She kept her pregnancy a secret until she was 5 months pregnant. She had an abortion at 5 months along. Was that OK?? Abortion is also rejection.
@@samsmom400 lots of babies are taken.

@@samsmom400 I'm saddened by your response but I also know Jesus loves and feels your rejection. You would not comment something so hurtful if you were happy with your life. I hope you find peace and live my friend 🙏
It is so great to see Cameron supporting the Kingdom of God. Being the same age I watched Growing up Pains all the time.
Thank you for opening the eyes to the young women and let them know there are other options.
This is amazing. Bless You Jesus for this beautiful outcome. Thank you for speaking out.
I had two friends who were adopted and grateful to be alive and had wonderful adoptive parents abortion is evil thank you kirk for being truly a man of God
Awesome Just Awesome, God Is Good!! Can't wait for the Movie! Saw the Documentary Wow!! God bless you All.
I just came across this video and immediately ordered the movie on Amazon Prime. I was born to a 16 year old in 1957. Her long time boyfriend was just 18. Her mother made the decision that I would be adopted out, and I will be forever grateful. The parents who adopted me weren't able to have their own biological children, and they always regarded me as a such a special gift. I found my birthmother in 1986, and my birth father in 2003. I actually met him and his family, which was cool.
Inspirational testimonials.
And not just a nice story - lives have been transformed!
His, hers, their families.. Even the lives of new born babies.
This is a win win.. Win win win win..situation.
Why, everyone's a winner.
I am moved to tears just from watching this! PTL for the option of adoption!!
How about Foster Care? Adoption is an option with Foster care
@@susandrennon5254 She's probably an attorney that deals in the trafficking of babies, which is makes BILLIONS of dollars a year in "adoption".
I saw David's documentary yesterday. I had no idea what it was about but as an adoptive mother I was curious. When David stood in front of the abortion clinic I gasped out loud. Hours later I still have a physical reaction. This is an amazing adoption triad filled with love.
I am 63 I was raped at age 30 by my boyfriend. No means no weather it is your husband or boyfriend or a date. I ended up getting pregnant I was told I could have a abortion I said no. I was looking into adoption but my friend said it was not your fault or your babies fault. She had everything I needed up till 6 months so I kept my baby boy. He is now 32yrs old married and a wonderful son. I wish I could see him more but he lives over a hour away from me and does not drive yet. But I do go see him when I do I am glad I kept my son
Thank you for sharing your story God bless you and your son 🙏🤗
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That's the story that needs to be told!!! That's a real friend that stood up and supported you in your time of need! And despite everything, you MADE IT!!! I wish someone would help you drive an hour away to go see your son. If you were pregnant, they would break their backs to come get your baby, but they won't help you here to see the baby you loved and kept.
Kirk? Can you help this lady? Can you do a story about women keeping their babies no matter what? Anyone? Please?
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@samsmom400 why are nice to this person and call the other person here a liar? You don't know either of them. You're probably a decent person who helps people, so I just want to know why? Even if you can relate to this person more, why were you accusing the other person of lying? Maybe I know that person and know your wrong.
@@JC-DC Who did I call a liar? I'll go back and look to see why I came to that conclusion. As for THIS person, her story/situation rings true and she did what mothers do, they keep their babies and she needed help and support and someone stepped up and did that. THAT IS WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. NOT come in and scoop another woman's baby up and giving all kinds of reasons why some stranger would be a better parent for a woman's baby. That is seriously messed up and wrong. Name the person I called a liar so I can review why and I'll tell you. Or repost the comment so I can see. Thank you for asking.
@@samsmom400 I am so sorry for your hurt. I truly am. I agree that no mother should be forced to give up her child, and it is rejection for the baby. You are right, I am a foster mom and I know that even with newborns they feel the trauma of loss. But God….can use the decisions of moms that give up their babies and give that baby the best start possible in another family that is offering acceptance. There are many families praying for children. To be honest, not all children should be with their mothers. Not all women that give birth should even be called a mother. There are many women who abuse, neglect and harm their children, hence the foster care system. So though we may not always understand others choices, if we belong to Jesus, we can trust Him with our lives and the lives of those in our care. And yes, I would also love to see a movie about a mother who chose to keep her baby, who chose to die to herself and put her baby first. We need that story preached from the rooftops! I do hope you can read others comments and reply with a softer heart toward adoption. I just want you to know I hear you.
This is an amazing story, but also it is a blessing for all the parts involved on this story.
🤮
My daughter is adopted. She’s a precious gift from God. ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️
Just watched the documentary. THANK YOU MELISSA! David you are amazing and I am so glad you now have more than one family.
It's amazing alright. Actually, it sounds completely made up.
This is beautiful thank you Lord for working through your people
Nothing short of courageous and extravagant Grace.
Can’t wait to see your story GOD BLESS YOU & your families 🙏
I keep hearing in my heart, "Born for such a time as this." God is strategic in our life and when we are born. Every life and every baby is precious. Look at the impact each life is making. And their children and their children's children. So beautiful. 💗 To God be the glory.
Judgement of Solomon 1 Kings 3:16-28 Go back and READ your Bible. God NEVER promoted baby adoption. He actually showed the heart of a real mother vs. a woman who steals a baby for her own greediness.
I'm a birth mom and her mama just watched this movie and reached out to tell me she loves me. Kiddo is 14 💛 It's semi-open so we communicate from time to time but we just had a very heartfelt conversation and I told her things about my pregnancy that I never ever thought I would ever tell her. I didn't want her to worry and have to know these things but I got kicked out of my church when I chose life.
I'm going to eventually watch this movie so I can see what she saw, but people have got to quit shaming women because a lot of abortions are happening so that they can continue to be part of the church. That is not very pro life.
The other horrible stereotype is the horror stories of giving birth. The epidural is your friend I promise and it is no big deal. I would rather get 10 epidurals than get bit by a mosquito.
💛 Be blessed and know that God loves you even when the church abandons you.
That is messed up! Pro-Life should be preached, not Pro-Choice!
Then, kicking out a lady who chose not to abort is a strong way to steer her from Christianity. I'm so proud of you for knowing the Lord's will for that better than them.
I wish I kept my would be 24 year-old, I believe, daughter. I always imagined from age 11 or early 12 until early 20s, first I would have a daughter, then son. Well, I got my son. I almost made that poor choice again, but praise Jesus, allowed myself to get talked out of it when got to a clinic with his father. I never told my son about his half-sibling. He is 19 now, so, cannot bring myself. My first child's father, well, we did mutually agreed. He would have insisted on it. Myself, though 21, was at home and would have got kicked out. It was not as I become homeless entirely. I could have went to a shelter where I could carry out the pregnancy and just let my then-boyfriend split up with me.
I remember being on the table, and a mask was put on me. I went from wanting it done, to, I change my mind, absolutely not! I tried to take the mask off and was like, signaling because I could not talk. But it was too late. I was at a time I still believed in God, but I wanted nothing to do with Him, so, it did not occure to me to pray and ask to stop the procedure. A couple days later, I was at my then-boyfriend's for the day. He was not home, so I turned on to an old rerun of original 90210. Andrea was pregnant. I was crying. Other days, I cried in the most painful regret.
I still struggle to forgive myself. Not just that, also, a second time child out of wedlock. With my 2nd child, well, I did have a time of trying to come back to the Lord, but then got involved with an atheist, thinking it can work. I did heavy level of backsliding and only dealing with the Lord when convenient to me. But with my son, I did not know the Lord's ways like I'm getting to, today, but I feel as I was to give my son up. I realized in 1st trimester, deel inside to the surface, I could not marry his father. When he was almost born, his father insisted I move in and pay him rent. It would be irresponsible for me to live separate. I did not want to give up my subsidized rent apartment becausevI wanted to keep it in case things not work out. I should have kept it. When our son was a baby, he hit me a few time. Last time, our son was 2. He kept the verbal abuse. He has mental challenges as well.
4, almost 5 years ago, I got away from his father. Took me some time to overcome guilt of my son having split parents. My son was 14 and chose to stay with his dad. At least it was not a divorce, as we never married. Moving away opened a door to still much growing in repentance and get right with Jesus. I am nowhere near there, but some changes took place, including lately more verbal on things I refuse to do because it is against my relationship with the Lord.
You are not a "birth" mom. You were a mom who REJECTED your baby. You cared more about yourself than your baby. Then you tell a 14 year old things she doesn't need to know. She already knows. You REJECTED her.
@@samsmom400 wow this is such a hateful and judgmental thing to say. I hope you realize that what you are saying isn’t right.
@@Universaltruth333 I know exactly what I'm saying and I'm speaking a truth. There's absolutely no reason in the world for any girl/woman in this day and age to reject her baby. I recently spoke to a grandmother who tried to talk her teenage daughter into an abortion and then giving the baby up for adoption because it was going to ruin her life. The daughter kept her baby and the grandmother is really glad. She can't imagine life without this precious baby. She is a regular church member.
@@samsmom400 cool that’s great and I’m happy for them. However, I think it’s important to not forget that we don’t actually know what that person is going through or what their motive is. Its as they say putting yourself in someone’s shoes and very rarely do we attempt to do that. It’s easier to judge and criticize then to try and understand because that takes effort and most people are lazy nowadays and don’t want to actually admit that others think differently and they have a moral obligation to try to understand others but to each their own. Some people would rather judge and say it’s rejection well sister Rejection is gods protection and until you yourself have been through this do us women that go through enough here a favor and keep your negative comments to yourself.
My mom gave her first born daughter up for adoption when her and my dad found they were pregnant as teenagers. My parents later went on to marry each other and have two more baby girls. Two years ago I found my sister and met her 50 years after she was placed for adoption. It was such an amazing experience! My mom definitely is a hero as it was the hardest thing she’s ever done. She blessed a childless couple with a baby that they had been praying for. 💗
There are so many stories like this. The child almost always is grateful for the parents choice to give life.
Wow 50 years!
@@gailcarey3597 That's a lie. Many of the children have serious emotional problems and end up killing themselves. It's hard to be grateful when the first thing you're aware of is that you've been rejected by the one person that is supposed to love you unconditionally. Adoption is about rejection. It's real.
I know a lot of people who were adopted and None of them feel like that. They love their adoptive parents and have wonderful lives. I know that isn't the case for everyone who is adopted and I'm very sorry for anyone with mental or emotional problems because they feel rejected, at least they had a chance at life though. What they choose to do with their lives is up to them though.@@samsmom400
@@janeclayton151 I believe you to be a liar. Or people don't trust you enough to tell you how they really feel. I worked specifically with adopted children and the real mothers for years and I only know of 2 adoptees that were well grounded. And that's 2 out of MANY. I also know that they lie to their adopted families because they don't want to hurt them. They are always having to lie and hide their feelings because of all the insecure adoptive parents they have to coddle. I have watched too many of them kill themselves because they never felt like they belonged anywhere. They always felt rejected. And here you are to advocate for the billion dollar baby trafficking industry. Thanks for adding to their misery. How special.
Sharing your story is such a blessing & I'm really looking forward to this movie 😇🙏
Amazing , wonderfully produced movie of a very important issue(s).
We laughed, we cried, we prayed and we rejoicec at a fantatic Movie...

A must see movie.
MANY THANKS👍🥰👍

So happy and excited about this. Finally a positive voice for us drowning in the negativity we hear every day. My only beef here is referring to some pregnancies as a crisis. Somewhere along the line pregnancies have become shameful. If we flip that attitude into something positive, perhaps some will see the light.
Women get pregnant.
There shouldn't be shame in that no matter how it happens.
Never a crisis; always a miracle.
Adoption is a cleaned up version of saying that a baby was REJECTED. Mothers who throw their children away are sociopaths. Nothing "positive" about that. How can anyone REJECT a baby? That gets you "happy and excited"???? UGH!!
Adoption doesn't always result from someone giving up their baby. And giving up a baby is far more loving than aborting him or her. My daughter's birth parents allowed awful things to happen and their rights were terminated. I adopted her...31 years ago. And am grateful beyond words to our God who brought us together.
@rk_Henley Most pregnancies are "unplanned". It's not a "crises". You sound like you work for an adoption agency.
@@laurieomura7188I said "rejecting" their baby. Not "giving up". I'm not talking about foster care adoption. I'm talking about the Satanic baby trafficking that is funded and supported by "churches", lawyers, and Catholic Charities. I guess you're ok with babies being tortured and skinned alive?
Excellent interview. Thank you for sharing!
Great movie showing the humanness of everyone with God’s hand in it all. 🙏
This is a great story and movie. My wife and I watched it last weekend. Thanks for making it.
More babies would get adopted if they weren't so expensive to adopt. My oldest daughter can't have children would love to adopt looked into it & said mom I can't afford to adopt with tears running down her cheeks. Broke my heart.
That is highly bummed up! Why charge? Just background check very throroughly, and then freely adopt to those worthy!
@@holyexperience1976 yes I agree. But that's not how it is. God has something special for them I know He does. In His time & His way.
@@holyexperience1976 Adoption creates BILLIONS of dollars a YEAR in the trafficking of babies. That's why it's so expensive. Also, a lot of these babies are taken by Satanist who end up being tortured and sacrificed on an alter in rituals so that the Satanist can obtain power. They skin the babies alive and then kill the baby.
Tell her to quit crying. She can go through foster care. God opens and closes wombs FOR A REASON. A lot of women are sterile because of sexual promiscuity. Why would you advertise that? I thought everyone knew that. You're pretty much telling everyone your daughter was a slut and has some kind of disease. THAT should break your heart.
This is 😭😭😭! Have you heard about Steven Curtis Chapman’s ministry that helps with costs? It’s called Show Hope. Also, foster to adopt is a lot less expensive, although it has its own challenges. My sister in law went through this. They have two kids through adoption now. I hope your daughter’s story ends as happy. 🙏🏻❤️
GROWING PAINS! THANK YOU KIRK ❗💯
At 4:41 when he says "Thank you for giving us your son" wow what a hidden message. That statement I heard in an entire different way. Made me think... Thank the Lord God above for giving us HIS Son. His only begotten Son. Jesus. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
I just read Melissa's story the other day. Thank you for sharing this incredible story in movie form!
It's incredible that she lied about something all those years. How can you trust someone that selfish? If it was so "great" she wouldn't have lied about it. She could have kept her son, but she was selfish and REJECTED a baby. Now she wants to be "admired". How sick is that? She didn't want to tell anyone she had REJECTED her baby until she was going to make money off her story. Sad.
Love watching this as I look down at our adopted newborn twin girls. 💕
I love these stories and it’s taken on new meaning since I became a mother. I’ve been scared to adopt, but feel like maybe it’s something I’m meant to do. Maybe I’m not ready at this exact moment, but stories like this really move me toward making that reality.
Stumbled across your page!! Omgoodness! Beyond excited to see you here. The world needs you.
God has been involved in your lives every step of the way. No doubt about it. Thank you all. You are touching and helping so many.
If God were involved "every step of the way" she wouldn't have lied every day of her life about having a baby and REJECTING him. I hardly call that "touching".

Thank you God for Kirk Cameron. His living faith is a light in this dark world
How is promoting a billion dollar industry living "faith"??? What book do you read? What god do you worship?
@@samsmom400 quit trolling.
My wife and I adopted three beautiful daughters. The oldest one was pregnant and considering abortion. We supported her through the birth of that baby girl and a second daughter. She and her husband just had their third, a son. We are so blessed.
I saw Lifemark in the theater yesterday. There wasn't a dry eye in the packed house. I think every young girl should watch this movie. It would save so many lives. God bless this special family.
Many babies have been saved due to this 👩🏻🍼👏🏼
off the topic....
I'm watching your new movie right now, and wow!!!, how did the makeup crew/special effects crew make you and your movie wife look so realistically old and then young???
Incredible and so very realistic!!!

As an adoptive mom, I just want to encourage those of you who have shared that you have given up children for adoption. You are loved and appreciated. Thank you so much for choosing life for your child, and trusting another family to do its best for him or her! My daughter is a beautiful gift! But we also know that adoption is born from loss--the loss of a mother for my child; the loss of the child for her birth mom; and it's intense. But we are working to instill a love and respect for my daughter's courageous birth mom in her, and I would guess most adoptive families are doing the same. You are loved. Your sorrow is seen. God knows it all. Jesus weeps with you.
Love your comment. You state the truth so eloquently.

@@teamtwe 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@teamtwe Exactly, there needs to be a shift. Why try to say that the answer to abortion is adoption? Make movies about mothers who WANTED their babies and needed help and the church came alongside them and supported them in whatever way possible so that they could?
This should be about saving souls. The soul of the infant and the soul of the mother. I wonder how many women would be lead to Christ with this show of love and support? I wonder how many lost their way when their family and church turned on them?
When I hear a so called "grandmother" give testimony of how their daughter had a baby out of wedlock, didn't have an abortion, but gave that infant away, I know that "grandmother" is the sorriest excuse of a mother on earth. I have watched it time, after time, after time ... they are the most selfish, self-centered people I've ever had to deal with.
The horrific nightmares that the mother who has had to reject her baby has to live with never ends. This movie and others like it are a lie and give false hope. Adoptions don't go well for most people.
Do you know how many women have abortions because they can't fathom carrying a baby for 9 months and then handing their precious baby over to a some stranger? And seriously, think about that. Do you leave your baby with strangers, even for an hour?
Adoptions aren't saving lives!! That's a lie!! If people are really serious about saving the lives of infants, support the mother and baby as Christ has said to do! Yes, it's hard. The church can do this as a community, but instead they rather get involved in the trafficking of babies!! What's wrong with that picture?
It's not natural and it most certainly is not of God. It's also run by the adoption cartel. I also know that these sites are monitored by people who are hoping to lure some vulnerable woman who's pregnant into their clutches.
I also know that this comment section is infiltrated with people who buy and sell babies and are posting made up scenarios to sway those poor women who might become their victims.
@@teamtwe No, adoption does NOT bring healing. If it's so wonderful, I want to see all these "grateful" people start coughing up their babies. Do you leave your baby with a stranger for even an hour? Do you know how many people would call you a bad mother for that? And then applaud a mother for rejecting her baby and just giving it to a stranger forever??? You call that a "blessing"???
David and Melissa, thank you for sharing your stories and allowing yourselves to be used by God to touch many lives through this movie.❤ Indeed, birth mothers are heroes and adoption saves lives❣ Can't wait to see the movie. Thanks Kirk and Kendrick Bros. for this production. God bless you all🙏
No, "birth" mothers are not HEROS. They are misguided individuals. They should have KEPT their babies. They are self-centered, greedy women. There's no such thing as a "birth" mother. There are MOTHERS who love themselves and their life-style more than the babies. They threw their babies away. There's a good chance that the babies were adopted by Satanist that sacrifice the babies in a horrible ritual.
Love this! ❤️
Fantastic film! What a gift to the babies who will live to tell, and the parents who will nudge them forward to do just that. So grateful to Kirk and the Kendrick brothers for never giving up, and being a voice for the sacred voiceless .. and the female protestor who yelled out "your baby has ten fingers and ten toes!". Heroes .. all of them.
Thank you so much for this documentary
I just came home after watching this film. I’m feeling the possibility of revival for America very strongly in my mind right now and desiring it in my heart. I am so grateful for being able to watch this movie and to help share it across social media and with people one on one. Thank you! God bless us EVERYONE ☁️✨✝️🕊🛐💜

This was an awesome, beautiful interview and I can’t wait to watch the movie! 😊
Wow that's a secret! I'll bet she felt so free once she let it go. Quite a story!
Lying is never good for a soul. She chose to reject her baby and lie for 20 years. Now she's getting "fame and fortune" for it. Not the story I would want to tell. She could have kept her baby, she didn't want him.
2 other things to watch:
The previous interview with Kirk and the film makers, and the 30 min documentary on CZcams called "I lived on Parker Avenue" about this story. So good, such an emotional story to watch! Bless this family!!
You go Kirk. What else should we expect from someone who's first name means 'church'.
What a wonderful video. I watched the video, because I am going to see the movie. God’s work is miraculously better than we can ever imagine.
THIS IS Awesome !!
WHAT A STORY, Praise The Lord !
This is so good on so many levels, l carried my last baby in a displaced position due to the damage of a forced double procedure abortion, two years earlier, (he started growing in my groin area). I got to feel tiny feet kicking at 8 weeks gastation or before, l was laying on my stomach watching TV when all of a sudden l felt those tiny feet. I still had a waistline the day l delivered my son. The doctor thought he wouldn't weigh 5 pounds. My son weighed 7 lbs and was 21 inches long. I still have hip and leg problem. But l would have never had another abortion. My unborn baby turned and turned mortily wounded between the two procedures for fifteen minutes. The Abortionist walked back in and coldly said, "We didn't get all the parts" l thought What Parts Arms and Legs, l shut down emotionally for ten years. I begged God to help me carry my baby in a displaced position. God grace is sufficient! God bless this wonderful story of adoption. In Jesus mighty name Amen!
Wanda, thank you for sharing your story. People need to hear what you have to share.
@@Laura-hr3ch Thank you so much, Laura. God bless you! Only God and l know the pain my unborn baby went through. And God still forgave me and helped me carry my son. I named my aborted baby "Anna Catherine"
God bless all the women that choose adoption over abortion. So many people want to adopt, love, & raise these beautiful babies!

So thankful for this real account of the raw feelings of life given not taken. Joy comes in the morning! As a birth-grandmother, and someone who serves in a prolife ministry in Louisiana, the gift of adoption is what I call red-letter love. If not for Jesus (His words are written in red in the New Testament), and His sacrifice, and God our Father's sacrifice of His Son (also ALIVE, we would not be known as sons and daughters of the one true God. This is Adoption. God's idea for the gift of life and a life of love. We have coined the language of adoption as "Gifting in adoption". Not giving away our putting up. A mother who gifts her child in adoption to complete a family is giving that family the gift of life and of love! Yay, God!! God bless everyone involved in this film, the families of David and Melissa and all the men, women, and Prolife Ministries loving women into truth, love, and life...for themselves and their children.
Stop trying to wrap up what you did in word garbage. You REJECTED your daughter when she was pregnant. You REJECTED your grandbaby. And you have "joy". That's pathetic. You are completely twisting scripture to fit your life and make yourself feel better for being a lousy excuse of a "mother". Do not compare what Jesus did to you or your daughter. There's no love in REJECTION and that's what you and your daughter did. That is not a "gift", it's a sentence.
Finally a movie i wanna see
Why? So you can learn how to successfully lie for 20 years and then claim your god taught you that? For rejecting a baby? That's something that you want to see?
I pray that God pours abundant graces upon everyone who helped to bring this movie to us! It is a shining light, powerful, in the darkness of our world today.
Simply amazing 👏 😍 ❤️
This is amazing! Can’t wait to see this!! God Bless you all. Praying this changes minds and lives in the future!! 🥰
Praying that mothers keep their babies and quit rejecting them. Praying that there's never a need for adoption again. I pray that this Satanic practice of adoption is made illegal.
How amazing, god bless
Thank you 🙏💗

Cool interview. Can't wait for the movie. I know several families that have adopted and I have 3 nieces and a nephew that are adopted.
On a side note this is probably going to sound funny coming from someone who can't adopt or be a foster parent (it's complicated but basically I'm mentally disabled and I struggle with depression, suicidal thoughts and tendencies and self harm) and I don't know if this is just in my state but a Pro-Abortion friend of my mom's and her husband deal with kids in foster care and she said a lot of kids are bounced from foster family to foster family. We need more committed foster parents. She also said about the ones that are able to be adopted some are deemed unadoptable because people want white perfect babies. It needs to not matter (as far as skin color at least I know not everyone can handle kids with disabilities)
Amen! I have 3 nephews and a niece that are adopted 😁🙌
Most of the grown adopted children I know of have killed themselves. They know they were rejected as a baby. How awful is that?
@@Vampirebloodthirst The reason why there aren't more "white, perfect babies" out there is because they are trafficked by the attorneys that say they are going to adoption. They actually go to Satanist who skin the babies alive and then sacrifice them on alters so they can have money and power.
I saw the movie about three weeks ago and it was very good.. Good job to all the actors and actress.. May God Bless each one of you..

What an awesome young man!
Five of our 6 children are adopted and they are Biological brothers and sisters. The Lord has Blessed us greatly by allowing us to raise all of his children(our 6). I lost a child when I was 16 and had our oldest son when I had just turned 18. We tryed and tryed for years to have more children and we’re not able to. When our oldest son was 8 years old we took our 5 other children into foster care, their ages where(1 1/2, 3, 5, 6, 8). We also had another child in foster care that we are considered mom and dad.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God has led us to adopt 6 children... our youngest is an absolutely amazing story! So much so that whether I share with a Christian or non-Christian, they are ALWATS amazed at what happened. 2 people called us that we had not heard from in years saying that God told them we would be asked to foster 2 children, a baby girl and a boy. We were not in foster care at the time as we had recently adopted 2 siblings and wanted to focus on their well being. Anyway, we did get a call to come back to a foster agency and then an immediate call to foster a baby girl and her little brother. So many miracle happened in a 9 1/2 month court battle where over 100 false allegations were brought against us from 2 government lawyers, to a homeless man in a Carl's JR answering a prayer I asked God about our little girl that morning, to a pastor out of town whom none of knew, calling me as I leaned against the back wall of a church holding our baby girl... then he told everyone in this church how God had saved this baby from death 3 times (which had happened as we asked about after words as none of us knew) and soooooooo much more. It brings joy & amazement to all we share with... and all glory goes to God! I do wish people everywhere could hear this story as it will bring hope to people!
Absolutely beautiful movie. I'm living this scenario now. My daughter has found herself in the same circumstances as Melissa did. She chose life and plans to adopt him out to a loving couple she has already chosen. This movie is extremely important for this generation. Thank you for sharing it publicly and thank you Kirk for putting it on the big screen. 👏👏👏 melissa, your words are so important. You are a hero.
You sound like one of those horrible "mothers" who didn't support her daughter. Sounds like she thought she HAD to throw her baby away. You're disgusting. She's not a "hero". She REJECTED her baby. She was selfish. She could have kept him. She spent 19 years LYING. How is that a good thing? Nope, now she wants to be "admired". I pity your daughter. She had a selfish "mother" who couldn't love her or her grandbaby. I guess you wanted someone to tell you you're "wonderful". You're not. I've met narcissist like you. You rejected your daughter. You rejected your grandbaby. Shame on you.
Hello to all of you I wish you could all see the story of banni it's such a sad story I can't stop thinking about him look up colm Flynn finding banni

i was adopted i searched for my biological mother for years my girlfriend saw my book i had to go back to work she was off. the next thing ik she handed me a number and address. when my aunts and birth mother came to mine and my girlfriends store. then i introduced them to the woman woman who had started it all. we left there came to my house had hamburgers and and hot dogs. i remember that when they were getting ready to leave thatmy father went over to privately and said thank you for giving us Brenda. she has brought us much joy. PLEZSE IF YOU FIND YOUSELF IN THAT POSITION TRY TO GET AHOLD OF ME I CAN HOOK YOU UP WITH A GREAT LAWYER.
You're promoting a mother REJECTING her baby? You were REJECTED. Your mother did not love you or want you. She loved her life and wanted a life without you. I bet you know a "great lawyer". That's a billion dollar industry a YEAR. You were trafficked. Someone made money off your rejection. Wow, what a legacy. Now you want to do the same. Sick.

I have a precious friend who adopted 1 baby girl and they want so badly to adopt another baby! Just last month, they met a birth mom a few weeks before she had her baby boy and they were chosen to adopt the baby. Then she decided to keep him. It’s tragic that so many people have “unwanted pregnancies”, but there are incredible couples out there who want so badly to adopt!
Do you know why ppl don’t want to adopt a baby anymore?,, because ppl fear that the baby might be a trafficked baby!! The foster care system is a corrupted system!!
You're upset that the mother kept her baby??? I'm confused. This was a good thing and you're calling it "tragic"?????
@@samsmom400 No, I’m saying it’s tragic that so many other mothers are choosing abortions when they could choose to at least give their baby to a sweet family like my friend’s. I completely trust God, and so does my friend, that it was best for that baby to be with his mom.
@@Rosie_C You know, there's another option to abortion. It's for the mothers to KEEP their babies. Why do you keep thinking that adoption is the answer??? That's crazy!!!! It's not even biblical. If you both "trust" God so much, why don't you trust that HE and HE ALONE opens and closes wombs FOR A REASON. Maybe He's saying, "NO!!! NOT YOU!!! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE CHILDREN!!!" What you or your friend thinks really doesn't matter. He, God, has already made His decision. You don't know her thoughts. God does. Maybe she has some really dark thoughts that aren't in line with where they should be. Clearly He has said, "No." But, now you are going to argue with him? Infant adoption is from man. That's not God's plan.
Maybe she's having to pay the consequences for past sins. Yes, and sometimes they last a lifetime. Maybe she's sterile from a STD. That's pretty common now, but let me guess, she's the exception. So, let's just leave it at that.
God can also provide miracles. He closes wombs and He opens them. He can open hers. I actually know of someone who this happen to. Trust Him enough to do a miracle. Trust Him in His decision, whatever that is.
Then use your time and energy helping mothers keep their babies. Just be that unselfish without any motive.
Good to be here, praise the Lord! Thank you for sharing this victorious testimony.
I just saw Lifemark in theaters! I loved it! Thanks for bringing this story to the big screen!
How do you get connected to help in all this? I had 5 children and they are all grown! Is there information to be able to get more involved, helping little ones or even older children? I can’t wait to see the movie! Jack Hibbs mentioned that he will be talking to you about the movie this week, what an inspiration from all of you! It made me cry in a good way🙏❤️
Melissa doesn't look over 28. Great testimony. Thanks for sharing
Yes she does. Living a lie for over 20 years ages you. What is a "great testimony"? Lying to everyone for over 20 years? Is that of God? I don't think so. Rejecting her baby? Or finally owning up to be a liar and so selfish that she threw her baby away and didn't want to talk about it until she could gain "fame and fortune" from it?
🙋🏻♀️☝🏻I truly wish I knew about my birth parents🤷🏻♀️...💁🏻♀️I need loads of information!!!🙏🏻👍🏻
I saw it at the movies last week. 👍
David is right; birth mothers are heroes.
No, they aren't. How is rejecting your baby a hero? No, that's a selfish woman. There's no such thing as a "birth mother". If you have a baby, you are a mother. The question is, what kind of a mother are you? She failed. She's a lousy person and an admitted liar.
@@samsmom400 it’s very painful for a woman to carry a child for nine months, meet their child and then give them to someone else so they can have a better life that you can’t provide.
@@jenniferthomas9491 Not if they're a sociopath, it's not a problem at all. "Meet" your child. Jennifer, you're pathetic.
