You're not being a downer, you're giving your opinion and that is allowed
I think, as an amom, I appreciated that both times the character decided to place, she was shown as having a very difficult struggle and even saying, "This is the hardest thing I've ever done" (or something like that). While I can see your point that in order to show a full story, it would have to show the bmom's struggles/regrets/sadness, it is just an hour-and-a-half. Overall, though, I still think it is moving in the right direction of the portrayal of adoption. All situations and people, from all areas of the triad, can't have their unique feelings and stories represented.
BTW - Mercedes Ruehl (portrayed the mom in the movie) is a bmom in reunion IRL.
