KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments:

Good story, Well paced. Shows the negative results of human error and how things can end up okay despite the human error. Its greatest strength is the way in which it makes you feel connected with the characters. One is immediately drawn into the story and intrigued by the switch of the babies. The middle unfolds well but the Dad's reactions seem a bit harsh for someone who supposedly loves his wife and daughter. The conclusion is fine but you are left wondering about the reunion between the mother and daughter and you also wonder what happened to the granddaughter.
