Gloria Garayua Pictures: Gloria Garayua arrives 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.
