Stories about adoption can be heartbreaking, uplifting, or, sometimes, even comical. When Diablo Cody wrote her acclaimed screenplay, Juno, the world watched an unconventional and comical story about unplanned pregnancy and adoption. Adoption is a great part about society that offers refuge and love to millions of children each year, with about 140,000 children adopted by American families alone, per Adoption Network. At the same time, it gives parents who are unable to have children, the gift of parenthood. Throughout the years, we have seen stories of adoption played out on both stage and screen. They offer us a glimpse into family dynamics, and in most cases, a happy ending.
