The Giving is an emotionally powerful documentary that chronicles the difficult journeys of six women from the time they learn of their pregnancy to the signing of adoption papers. The Giving explores how and why these women make what is perhaps the most difficult decision a mother could face. Pulling their stories from the shadows of society, this film shatters the myth of the careless, abandoning birthmother, and reveals, once again, that courage and selflessness are found in the most unassuming places.
