Submitted by I Am More Than My Infertility Blog
The journey of infertility is unpredictable. Everyone’s story is different, and no one quite knows how the story will end. The movie, And Then She Found Me , explores one woman’s story, with all it’s unlikely twists and turns.
Helen Hunt plays April, a 39 year old newly married woman who yearns for a child. She herself adopted, she desperately longs for the experience of connection she believes she witnessed between her adoptive mother and her brother, who is biological. All suggestions and admonitions that she “just adopt,” fall on deaf ears. April is determined to birth a child.
The story follows April through her complicated journey. Reunions and separations, gains and losses, doubts and confusion, false starts and stops—April experiences them all. But eventually, it is this very path that leads April to her own answers, and eventually to acceptance and peace. If you ever wonder whether your journey will lead to your own happy ending, this movie is for you.
