This one really upset me

There wasn't much to like about this movie.

When a couple brings their seriously ill baby boy to the hospital they learn that not only will the baby die without surgery, but he is not their bioligical child. Naturally, a search for their "real" son begins.

SPOILERS

This movie had two of the most unlikable characters I have ever had the misfortune to see. Let's start with Donna Mills character, the woman who had raised the sick baby boy. She immediately starts packing up his things and when a call comes that he has taken a turn for the worst, she refuses to go to the hospital because "he's not my son". Just like that, she turns off all feeling for him. John James, as the biological father of the sick baby, doesn't even want to consider that the child he is raising might not be his real son, not because he is going to be devastated if he has to give him up, but because he is a dumb jock football coach who doesn't want a "defective" kid who may not be a ball player one day.

I don't know if this one was based on a true story or not, but if it was and it really happened like this, I feel for those two boys.
