American film about adoption, that both recycles and pokes fun at all the stereotypes you've ever come across. There's a couple who decide to adopt because it will be easier than all that icky stuff with giving birth, but then they become emotionally involved with potential adoptee cute babies, but then they end up adopting a latino teenager and her two younger siblings, and the birth mother is crack addict, but...get the picture?
Sometimes actually funny and heartwarming, and with some quite good insights into the system and the motivations of people in it. Other times slapstick dross. And of course 'based on a true story' so you can have pictures of the actual families with the closing credits.
Netflix again.
