There are surely not enough movies by far like this one and fewactors can deliver it like Richard Thomas who is always exceptional in whatever role he plays.
My thought throughout this was well theres a first time for everything and looks like all odds are against him. Indeed, he does "rattle" the system. A system that rightfully has the rule at the time that 2 parents are better than one when it comes to adoption.
Richard Benjamin is a single young guy who sort of accidentally falls into a volunteer position at an orphanage. In a quick matter of time he meets 7 year old Tommy who has speech as well as hearing problems and who has spent his life at the orphanage.
Soon Ricahrd is spending more and more time with him and they totally love each other. He then wants to adopt the boy although it means going to court.
For a single person, either sex to become a parent, is against tradition, however not written in stone.
In any case, this is a lovely story.
