Movie The Drop Box -- adoption/abandonment triggers

[mom@shiloh]

Many of you may have heard about the movie, The Drop Box which is about a Korean couple who were finding abandoned babies and decided to construct a drop box as a safe place for families to leave babies who they could not care for.  I have been wrestling with whether it's a good idea to go see it or not.  My five youngest children were abandoned as babies.  Many of our homeschool friends are going, but I'm just not sure if it will be too difficult for my children to see it or if it would be healing for them.  Anyone else wrestling with this?  Any opinions?

I haven't heard of it before but I don't think I would take my own adopted children until they were older teens and able to process all that it might involve. Many adopted kids are emotionally younger than their chronological age and may not be mature enough to handle all of the emotions this might stir up. Just my opinion.

How old are your children?  I'm not familiar with the movie either, but I don't think I'd take my kids to see this one.  Adoption issues are tricky enough as it is.  

 

Can you go see this on your own?

This is a complete side note, but my sister and her husband attend the church in Korea where this couple is involved.  She's very impressed with the work they do for these children.

I would skip it. They can see it when they're older and can process it better, as a PP said.
