The Greatest of Gifts (2000)

Noah Wyle: John Carter

Quotes 

• Jing-Mei Chen : [about the baby]  I'm being selfish. I have the money to raise him. There's no reason I can't.

  John Carter : There's a couple out there who desperately want to raise a child and you're giving them a great gift.

  Jing-Mei Chen : What happens 18 years from now? He shows up looking for an explanation.

  John Carter : Well, you tell him the truth, you know? You tell him that you wanted to provide the best home possible for him.

  Jing-Mei Chen : Do I tell him I was a coward? That my bigoted parents were more important to me than he was?

  John Carter : Deb, I think that you gotta take your family out of this. Now, if you want to keep the baby, keep the baby, but if you don't or you can't, then you want to make sure he goes to somebody who's gonna love him, who's gonna want him, and know that you're not abandoning your baby. You're creating a family.
