They made two different versions of this movie. I don't know why, but they did. It's the same story but the only difference (that I could tell) was that in one version she had a mother/father and the other version she had two dads. I caught them both on TV in separate years. I preferred the version with two dads. I don't know why, maybe because I saw it first.
