My wife and I enjoy watching Hallmark movies, especially the Christmas ones (I know, take away my man card.) This movie, like many Hallmark tales, started out enjoyably, introducing a nice set of characters that differed in a lot of ways from the "standard" characters of Hallmark movies. However, when Bure's character moves forward to adopt a boy she recently met, the movie was no longer remotely believable and went from "charmingly cheesy" to "give me a break."
Maybe it's because my wife and I have fostered and fostered to adopt--but when a woman is between jobs and living temporarily in someone's attic (in a town she had never been to before in her life) and then is granted an adoption--without mandatory home visits or training--sorry, not happening. Maybe in the 1880s when the orphan trains were running that would happen, but not today.
