Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson Pictures: Samuel L. Jackson and wife LaTanya Richardson arrive on the red carpet at the "Mother and Child" movie premiere held at the Egyptian Theater on April 19, 2010 in Hollywood, California.
Three women's lives share a common core: they have all been profoundly affected by adoption. Karen had a baby at 14, gave her up at birth, and has been haunted ever since by the daughter she never knew. Elizabeth grew up as an adopted child; she's a bright and ambitious lawyer, but a flinty loner in her personal life. Lucy is just embarking with her husband on the adoption odyssey, looking for a baby to become their own.
