GARY CHAPMAN, AUTHOR, THE 5 LOVE LANGUAGES"I love that LIFEMARK shines a light on the wonders of adoption." - DELILAH, NATIONALLY SYNDICATED RADIO HOST"The movie is terrific; I felt each moment of the story. I prayed throughout the movie that it will inspire the beginning of thousands of new families." -“LIFEMARK is a movie that will grip your heart with the truth that every life matters to God and should matter to us. This real-life drama will keep you on the edge of your seat with unexpected twists and turns while demonstrating that God cares about every detail in each of our lives while He’s writing a story that only He can write. You’ll get a front-row seat to seeing how God showed up for these families … which illustrates that He’s invested in your life story too.” - MICHELLE WATSON CANFIELD, PHD, LPC, AUTHOR, LET’S TALK: CONVERSATION STARTERS FOR DADS AND DAUGHTERS PODCAST HOST, “THE DAD WHISPERER”“This movie will make you laugh, cry, and think! LIFEMARK didn’t shy away from the hard parts of adoption. For many years there has been negative stigma around adoption, but LIFEMARK shows the beauty, sorrow, and redemption that can happen through a brave, selfless decision. Well done!”- ROBYN CHAMBERS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, FOCUS ON THE FAMILY“This film puts God on display by shining a bright light on the choice of sacrifice and unconditional love.”- KEN WINDEBANK, COO, FOCUS ON THE FAMILY“The new Kendrick Brothers movie LIFEMARK hits the mark in bringing answers and practical steps to doing just that, while driving home the truth that EVERY LIFE COUNTS and ultimately doing what is best for the child is most important, regardless of past difficulties, mistakes, or regrets!”- DR. BOB RECCORD, NATIONAL SPEAKER AND AUTHOR“LIFEMARK is a moving and true story revealing the challenges which adoptive families face. It clearly gives dignity to an adoptive person’s life story and affirms the vision for families to adopt children. Our current culture has overlooked the connection between the value of life and the amazing miracles it brings to adoptive households. Not every adoptive story is as sweet and positive as this, but LIFEMARK provides a benchmark for which we all should strive.”- KEN CANFIELD, PHD, FOUNDER, NATIONAL CENTER FOR FATHERING, AND GRANDKIDS MATTER

Absolutely Beautiful!
What a beautiful story of love and faith! It touched my heart especially because my mother was adopted. I and my siblings would not be here if my grandmother had made a different choice. This movie is a reminder of God's love and grace because we are all adopted by Him! Thank you Kirk and everyone who worked so hard to bring this true story to the screen! May God use it to lead others to make the same beautiful choice for life!!!

Recommended, an excellent movie about adopted children
This movie is excellent. Describes the difficulties adopted children experience. As the parents of a child we adopted we know that as the child gets older there is a natural need to learn about their biological parents. This movie shows the parents of a child they adopted should expect this, and it isn't an indication by the adopted child that they want to go live with their biological parents. This movie shows a situation where the child needs to live with others. Well worth watching.

Best movie I've seen to date
This movie covered the entire situation involving the importancesu of choosing life. With excellent casting, humor and real life facts, it is an accurate and entertaining true story to enjoy and learn. Tons of extras help to support the pro life issues.

Excellent Movie
This is a beautifully done movie describing so many emotions within the adoption triad. I wish everyone would watch this movie, to learn more about adoption and how to relate to everyone involved from birth parents, to adoptees, to adoptive families. Well written and excellently portrayed.

Docudrama/infomercial style
Lovely film. It is more of a docu- drama. It really isn't a movie, like an action-packed, movie movie. It is more like a documentary explaining all sides of adoption: the entire adoption process. It is lovely, and heart-warming, and takes into account multiple perspectives on the subject. Very well done, but not an actual movie, if you know what I mean.

Very watered down
So after reading the description, I assumed this film would either go in the direction of Christians being adopted into the Kingdom or adoption versus abortion. The film went with the latter.Understand my view...I am VERY pro-life...not just anti-abortion. We do not use any birth control or any family planning. I am a HUGE proponent of adoption and against even abortifacients.But this film really missed the mark for me. To their credit, it appeared as if they tried to keep the film as true to story as possible as opposed to adding false parts for entertainment...I absolutely love that. But I don't need to know every detail of the person's life, especially if it does not pertain to the overall message trying to be conveyed.So for example, he ends up having brain surgery. Now this would have been huge in a young man's life, but if it was, it didn't show in the movie...it was like...get over it quick and it didn't show how it progressed him Ian the story as a person. It was like just what he had for dinner. Maybe you show the plate and talk about being hungry, but really it spent too much time on details that were either insignificant or weren't explained well enough.I would have liked to have seen a more powerful focus on adoption and also a more practical way for help for those mom's who were actually considering abortion.Sadly, I don't think anyone's mind was changed with this movie.Also the Christianity side of the film was very generic and powerless. It could easily be compared to other religious movies...very generic and not the focus of the film.So...I was personally disappointed. I feel like each new film heads them more into the Pure Flix type Christianity...feel good movies with little depth and many unBiblical.
