    not that bad

    No one said this was worthy of any kind of awards, but its not a bad watch at least once. Anyone whos ever watched a soap knows who deidre hall is, so she IS known to a lot of people. She was just trying to tell her story to people who were uneducated about surrogacy. She wasn't saying its better than adoption or that there was something wrong with adoption, she just wanted to have her kids the way she wanted. It is touching how she doesn't give up after years and years. The 1 thing thats kind of, un-needed, is the humor thats thrown in there. It seems like a lot of inside jokes that no one else would know. For instance Wayne Northrop and his wife Lynn Herring appear several times, but its never explained who they were. To someone watching who has never watched Days of Our Lives, those parts might be confusing. She drops a lot of names that i guess would make a soap fan notice and think that it was a good joke, but i think she should have stayed away from that. my opinion is to Watch it once

    I thought this was a wonderful biographical and enteresting look at Ms. Hall's life.

    This movie was a tasteful look at the struggles with infertility Ms. Hall faced in her search for motherhood. It shows her fighting for what she wanted so badly, and finally achieving her ultimate goal through surrogacy. I personally enjoyed this movie not only because I am a fan of Ms. Hall's, but because of the deep and extraordinary story the movie portrays so brilliantly.

    Fantastic! A must see for any Deidre Hall Fan.

    I personaly think that this Doco was a great presentation. I would be inclined to disagree with the comments made by another user. Obviously, she was not a Deidre Hall fan. If you don't like Deidre Hall, then you will not like this movie but if you do like her and are a big fan like myself then you will like it. 9 and 1/2 out of ten! Keep up the good work Dee.

    I absolutely LOVED this movie.

    I'm Norwegian and I am probably one of the people that the above poster referred to as someone who wouldn't have any idea who Deidre Hall is…But let me tell you this; I DO know who she is. And she has impressed me with her talent countless time over the years. So please, don't diminish the woman's fame outside the American borderline, we are well aware of who she is and what she has accomplished.

    As for the movie, I absolutely loved it. It's a story that needed to be told and a story that tells of an amazing human being that never gave up on her lifelong wish to become a mother. It has nothing to do with preferring surrogacy over adoption; it's simply a story about a woman who chooses what feels right in her heart.

    They did a good job in showing the viewer the pain they felt. I could feel it.

    To the person who wrote the review that started off saying this: This is an extremely dreary and tedious tale of a minor "celebrity" who most people in the world have never heard of, and would be better off not doing so. The only thing I can think of with this is, Cruel and Heartless. Someone doesn't have to only be a super celebrity to care about what the movie is saying. It was giving people a shorter view of what they might have to go through to have a surrogacy. Of course times are much different now, but they did I good job. Any one that has had a loss or a deep need to want to be a parent can easily feel her pain. It's unbelievable the amount of people that don't understand that the surrogate is only carrying the baby for them, it is the sperm and egg of the parents..
