The Lost Child Review
This Hallmark Hall of Fame is the 2000 film inspired by a true story about a woman taken in search of his true heritage - two different cultures together! American Indian children were stolen by a white man and placed in orphanages (lost birds). Although married with children, feels that something is missing. This is a great film for all audiences. I had bought the DVD and VHS - a great movie to watch again and again.
The Lost Child Overview
As a young child, Rebecca Hoffman (played by Academy Award® winner Mercedes Ruehl) was raised by a loving and caring family, knowing she was adopted. Following her parents' deaths, Rebecca begins a search for her natural family. She is contacted by a Navajo woman looking for her own siblings, who were stolen from her mother at birth. As the two women talk, they suddenly realize they are sisters, and that Becks has found her birth family! Excitedly, Rebecca decides to take her children to meet her family on the reservation. They are welcomed with open arms, and begin learning the language and traditions of their rich ancestry. Her husband (Jamey Sheridan), however, is branded an outsider and has difficulty becoming accepted as part of the Navajo community. As the differences between the two cultures come to the surface, the family discovers a commitment to each other that runs deeper than circumstances and a heritage that captivates their hearts.

The Lost Child - Sarah L. Thorson -
I am sad when these things happen, and am glad that you found. I liked the film and the reaction of families.
A since of home... - Morria - USA
For me, this story has two sides, because I work with the Navajo and I adopted a child. I did not learn until I was grown, that my birth mother "placed" for me to believe that he was told, either up or give me would take me by force ... and I'm white! The contect deep with Becks and feel in many ways, his shop is my story. I say that is a must ... especially if you are accepted.
