David Scotton was adopted at birth and raised in Louisiana by parents who had previously lost two sons.\u00a0The film portrays the love between Scott and his parents, his search for where his life began, and the agony his birth mother experienced when she was 19 and chose to have him adopted.<\/p>\n

Scott travels on a train to Indiana to meet his birth parents. They anxiously await his arrival, worried about how he\u2019ll react to the decisions they made before he was born. They went to an abortion clinic. They didn\u2019t tell some of their family members about him. Now, they\u2019re meeting him for the first time.<\/p>\n

Attendees at the screening can meet and hear from the documentary\u2019s director, Philip Braun III, and David\u2019s adoptive and birth mothers, Susan Scotton and Melissa Coles, respectively.<\/p>\n
