My Review: LIFEMARK, based on a true story, piqued my interest but I did not expect to love the film as much as I do. The message is pro-life and family-focused with adoption at the heart of the story. LIFEMARK is a story of hope, of overcoming the obstacles life throws at us, reveling in the art of faith, grace, and perseverance.

David Colton (Raphael Ruggerio) was adopted as a newborn by Jimmy (Kirk Cameron) and Susan (Rebecca Rogers). Soon after his 18th birthday, David's birth mother Melissa (Dawn Long) reached out to see if he was open to contact. The film tells the story of his reunion with Melissa and birth father Brian (Lowery Brown), their supportive spouses (Alex Kendrick, Stephanie Parker), and unexpected siblings.

I highly recommend the film! The story is life-affirming without neglecting that there can be obstacles and heartbreak in some choices made. It has moments that can bring tears, but the Kendrick's trademark humor is a highlight for me. A simple scene between Kirk Cameron and Alex Kendrick had me hysterically laughing but the comic relief star was Justin Sterner as David's best friend, Nate. Nate is the official videographer of David's journey to meet his birth family... and he doesn't want to miss a thing.

Do not miss LIFEMARK! I also recommend you watch the actual documentary, I LIVED ON PARKER AVENUE on YouTube. You will recognize the real Melissa as the nurse in the scene when 18-year-old Melissa relinquishes her baby to go to his new parents.
