A recent movie Mother & Child is about the yearning for a reunion between a mother and child where the child was given away for adoption at birth. Four vignettes are presented of parents and children separated at an early age where there is a subsequent desire for reunion. Some of the possible determinants of this feeling are discussed. A recent report of Jewish children given away to be raised with non Jewish families during the Holocaust is also discussed. Questions are raised how adoptions, including international adoptions should be handled to take into account future desires of the participants for reunion.
