Inspired by a true story, Playing For Keeps is a story of celebrity, betrayal, legal battles and a mother’s overwhelming love for her child.
Nicole Alpern is a beautiful young sports groupie whose dreams come true when she catches the eye of Ty Rivers, a famous and wealthy basketball star. The two get along well and after Nicole takes him back to her apartment they’re swept up in a whirlwind relationship. He invites her to basketball games and she takes it as a good sign when she is regularly seated beside other home team players’ girlfriends.
The bubble bursts when Nicole discovers she’s pregnant and Ty refuses to believe that the baby is his. With Ty gone and in the face of her father’s disapproval, Nicole gives birth to a mixed race son she names Noah. After a positive DNA test proves the baby is his, Ty comes back into Nicole’s life, but it all comes crashing down when Ty’s wife finds out about the relationship.
Moving, inspirational and dramatic, Playing For Keeps stars Jennifer Finnigan, Doug Savant and Roger Cross.
I was adopted. at around age 6, i found out my parents were not my real parents. and that my real grandma wanted custody of me and my sister. my mom fought in court for us, to keep us. she was giving so much money to the lawyers, and one day, she just gave up and said, i'm throwing in the towel. but little did she know, that i had chosen her to be my mom, and that bond , no one can ever break. my real parents abandoned me, but God placed me with my soulmate. and this woman, is not only my mother for life, but my soulmate. so in court, i let my voice be heard and i had everyone in court crying, tears in their eyes. mom didn't have to fight for me, i fought for myself, my well-being, my love for her. and she's 81 years old now, and i'm the one taking care of her now, because she took care of me all my life. mother is a powerful force. and so is God.
Thank God you were not separated from her 😊
Wow what a powerful story. You are a great daughter. Thank you for sharing.
Your message makes me cry so much. I also adopted my only son. May you be blessed 💕👼🫂
Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤
God is Almighty and He granted you and your mom a life together, Glory to God and many blessings to both of you and thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
Since everyone is focused on Nicole being a great mom, let me appreciate the courage of the lawyer who stood by her at no cost. Damn, there's still such great beings out there🥰
You’re right. I also think she is lucky
@@samboneang6808 me too
It's just a movie. But great imagination! 👍🏽
@Leloo Dallas oh u mean like Satan was ?🤔
In reality not.
My mom is single and she is the biggest blessing I've received when I count my blessings I count her thrice😍😍😍 big up to all the moms
now thats real bless you
Kenyan and more so Kikuyu big up
Delighted for you
Mothers rock
Good for your mom. The fact your mom is single most likely has nothing to do with her being a blessing to you. The fact she's a good person, a responsible mother who's mature enough to handle the responsibility and has the love to make a good life for her child, probably does. :)
watching Nicole grow throughout this case was awesome, the fact that she was ready to share shows great maturity. Kudos to the lawyer stepping up but he also gained fame and wont have difficulty getting cases ... so love and charity won through!
Completely feel for this girl when I found out I was pregnant I told the babies dad and he tried forcing me to get an abortion now I’m 25 weeks pregnant with a baby boy and going to be a single mummy I’d rather do it on my own then worry about some pathetic guy. I’ve got my baby and my baby got his mummy that all we both need👶🏼💖💪
Would like to thank to everyone who has liked and commented, never got so many likes and positive comments means a lot thank you so much. I’m now 31 weeks and 5 and I’m really looking forward to meeting my little boy each day is a day closer to being able to meet and cuddle my little man in my arms, I’m so excited👶🏼🤰💖💋
You are brave and I commend you for choosing to give your baby boy life and a loving Momma. The two of you will be in my prayers.
Isaiah 40:11
“He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.”

Pearl Of Great Price Mom thank you so much x
@@winniebate5575 You are so welcome, Sweetheart. Thank you for being the hero of your baby's life story. You may face challenges ahead, but the first time you look down into the face of that tiny soul in your arms, you will know it's all worth it and GOD will always make a way for you. All you have to do is ask. 😊❤🙏
I can't believe guys got the nerves to sleep with the girl and get the woman pregnant and leave.
@@SUZUKI1777 Wish there were more out there like you, Jesse.
A beautiful story there's no greater love than a mother who cares of her own child.
Yeah even in death mothers love concar
She was supposed to care for his children and not to sleep with him from the beginning. A very bad father met a careless girl. She should’ve listened to her father when he said he’ll not leave his family for her.

@@najatyoukhanna7841 you must hv watched a different movie. She had nothing to do with the father's other children, the daughters. She loved her bebe n deserved to raise him single handedly. "Isa"
This was a very well-rounded movie. He was loved by his birth mother, father and step mother. In the end the courts made a wise decision and the birth mother wanted the father and step mother to still be an active part in the son's life. She took the mature route.
Birth mother? How about mother!
The decision of calling the wife and allow them to share the baby|s life with the fathers baby means she totally made a decision out if love to her child and the court gave custody to the right person, the mother,
I just feel from the start it would have been better for all involved to work together without fighting and unnecessary spending, etc. Most of all I'm glad that the boy wasn't traumatized through any of it.
I did think about how when a child has to switch back and forth to home's (as a long term very Dear friend that spent 20 year in te Army, away from home most of time told me that it makes it difficult for someone moving all the time to learn to settle down. So when my son's Father fought for every other 7 day's I fought for different. Not to mention it was affecting his grades terribly. That alone made me fight even harder for his call around future! His father actually had the principal team up with them to fight unfairly! Which before it was all over with list his job. With that part of my fight, I fought not just for my child. I fought for mine plus those that went to school with him and those to follow. Other parents took their children from that school until I fought to change that. Most of those that left came back once he was gone. While the fight was on though, none of those other parents stood by me. It hurt a bit, but I had more important agendas to achieve.
"You never know how strong you really are until you have to be."
Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading.
As for his father using a marriage to his advantage was a crock if you ask me. He and his new wife had no children together. It definitely bothered me that I knew when he was there, it was more with his new bride than with his father. What was the point really? In fact before me he had his 1st wife and 2 kids.When we had the children, it was more like I had his children, not him. His 1st ex wife grew to really trust, appreciate and respect me. She knew I put her children before myself, etc. Enough when one of them had injured themselves, bicycle accident and couldn't go to school, and she still had to work she'd call me to go to her home to care for that child. She was a school teacher. Without my knowledge she'd wrote our school board a letter saying she knew I'd be beneficial to be a substitute teacher. She felt qualified in saying so not just because she was a teacher but that I also cared for children part time. Then she made a copy of letter and sent both letters out, 1 came to me. That was the biggest, best compliment I received ever! It actually teared me up. I still have that letter. He fought cancer, she didn't make it. She held on until they finished high school + a little longer. I loved her, she was a good person. It took her about a year at the beginning to come around to me. At time's we'd have long phone conversations, no special reasons. And if I needed her to back me with her children because their father wouldn't with disciplining them, she had my back. If either of her children brought important conversation to me for advice. I always told them what I felt, thought but always encouraged them to still talk to their Mom because we may not have the same opinions. I'd also call her with such important conversations but ask not to let them know I'd called her about them. If we'd break that trust we both may lose that trust. I'd asked her to conveniently bring up such subject her children and I would discuss in they she'd noticed the this and that's. We made a good team for her 2 children. Until they moved out of state. Their father and I would go to them one weekend a month. Of course he tapered that off to part Holiday vacations and some time of the summer. By then they were older, wanted more time with their friends. I thought it was sad really, I spent more time with them than he did. When they moved their Dad wanted to fight. I was against it. And the lawyer he took us to basically told him the same thing's I did. "For the kids sake, and their Mom I was glad." I never told his 1st wife how he wanted to fight her. They didn't deserve that.
Having never personally lived with my own Dad. Didn't even know him until I was 6 year's old. Eventually went to his home to visit, his wife resented me. She was hateful. My visits there didn't last. And if they insisted I go visit their if my Mom didn't come with me, it wasn't happening. As I got older I made an agreement with my Dad: He and could visit anytime as long it was just he and I but not there. Only but a few time's did he take advantage of that offer. He never financially supported me nor otherwise really. Except showed up for my only wedding, and the birth of my son. And the burial of my Mother. He had my love for the fact he helped in giving me life. And what I knew about him came from my Aunt, his twin sister. Whom I spent lot's of time with! And his parents. People can be strange.
Why do you have to use the phrase "birth mother" to describe his mother? That's so weird. She's his mother. If she was his foster mother fighting for custody, I'd understand the use of the phrase "foster mother". In this case, that distinction just seemed redundant.
Sometimes the wife just wants revenge. Period.
Till when will racism be a tragedy out there....am an African (Kenyan) and proud of being black.....to Johnson production, thumb up 👍👍 the movie gives everyone out there the best lesson that colour shouldn't divide us oooo 🥰🥰 let's join together for the fight against racism
Dude u claim colour shouldn't divide us. Bt the question still remains what's wrong dating ur own race?? 😏
are u even aware that here in South Africa we're divided?
Im white and couldn't agree more, mixing race is causing problems, me personally want to keep my bloodline clean @gs_msk2092
@johnmaina9955 ❤one love
Are you high????
@@gs_msk2092 I agree most white ppl are horrible inside and out.
No one acknowledged the grandfather, he loves his daughter and stood by her despite all her mistakes. He helps her so much...
Yes he did
Yes he did
I acknowledge it, he was there with her every step of the way, even when he didn’t agree.
Its d dad nt grandfather of d protagnist
@@shvethashastry3174 I was talking about the grandfather and the grandchild
So glad she won. She proved that she was the best parent when she made the phone call to the child's father's wife at the end of the movie. Just after that, I imagined what would have happened if the other side had won. I imagined that they would not have been so gracious as her.
Wow...I'm not even finish with the movie...can you not tell it? Thank you!🙄
Perhaps the wife would have convinced her husband to keep the mother in the child's life. They seemed to have come to an understanding by the end of the movie. Great to see that the mum who raised him on her own initially, was awarded sole custody of her very loved son. Great ending everyone wins especially Noah
@@SweetBrownGirl Sorry about that. I will do my best next time. Thank you for pointing that out to me.
@@SweetBrownGirlor you could take personally responsibility for scroll through the comments before the movie is over.. YOU made the choice to read comments under a movie you haven't finished yet.. So if you don't want spoilers, don't read the comments... Or keep blaming random people for your own choices, that's more likely to happen.
For sure
I just wanted to give her dad a great big hug. My dad abandoned us when we were little but I do give him credit for one thing. He taught us a big lesson. You never abandon your kids.
Nicole’s dad may have been hard on her but you could tell he loved her and was just worried about her.
sorry to hear about your dad but i'm glad you're doing fine on your own and became a better person than he was/is. god bless you
Her dad is very loving ... caring ... responsible 😍 and she has these qualities too!
A very good dad.unlike mine..he wanted to abort his daughter.now he reaps what he sow.my daughter hates him to the bone.
Thanks. He, my dad, was a coward. He would come crawling on his hands and knees begging to be let out of child support because the courts were after him.
AND A FANTASTIC THING FOR YOU TO LEARN,
MY GRANDMOTHER ON MY MUMS SIDE TOOK A HIKE WHEN MY MUM WAS 6yrs , YOUNGEST OF FOUR DAUGHTERS, MY MUM VOWED NEVER TO LEAVE HER CHILDREN, NO MATTER WHAT,SHE HAS PASSED NOW, I HAD A MAGICAL CHILDHOOD WITH BOTH PARENTS LOVING AND ALWAYS THERE FOR ME AND MY SIBLINGS
EVERY CHILD ,PERSON AND ANIMAL SHOULD HAVE ALL OF THAT
To all the mothers out there, whether you're married or single roles are still the same for a mother as you still strive to be the best and give the best for your child as you always put your kids first. To be a mom is a 24/7 job never ending roller-coaster ride. Thumbs up to all of you for never giving up and being by their side always you got this
Powerful movie indeed.
The is the traditionel way of describing how to raise children. Sorry. Biologically a child needs a group. The mother is a part of the group and gets the support from them. So please stop telling this mother idealisation. I am a mother of two daughters, but I have to take care about me also. And I always shared the responability with the father or friends. 24/7 is completly unhealthy.
""Because of his mother he will know that he''s loved & cherished, just as he is."" ❤️
And that's phrases bring her to win
That was a strong point which was true indeed❤❤
I absolutely love her Dad. He means well,and needed to show her some tough love. He was right on so many points, but she was hardheaded, and "in love" with a cheater. It's good to see her wise up/mature/and become an awesome mom. Her mistakes is what molded her into the Mom, and woman she became. No race! Just a woman loving and wanting what's best for her baby.
The best comment so far!
@@sharonmavera5258 Took the words right out of my mouth :-)
#Black Butterfly I just love what you said, I felt the same about this movie. Hope you are staying safe out there...
Butterfly I equally had that in mind about her..
@@mfeltrin1 I'm doing my best. These movies are my guilty pleasure, and a much needed distraction. Hope you're safe as well.
Wow, that was powerful. As a white mom of 4 mixed race sons, watching the racial insanity going on now, this really touched me. I can't even begin to imagine losing my child on these grounds. Thank God their dad and I don't ever plan to be separated!
Cheaters always spoil marriage
you don’t get married planning on getting a divorce.
Thank God
I am colorblind
@@nevergiveup518 in this case your speaking of the father I presume...,the BASTARD..., the first person who knew he was married was - THE CHEATING HUSBAND..
Mother already knew the BASTARD is a married man with family , so she is an ANGLE
The ending was perfect. Yes, a child will benefit from the love and experience of both parents and the grandparents. It is important to know where we come from and who we are and all the love there is.
Yes but- DNA DOES NOT dictate paternity OR define family! When my kids were babies- my in laws were close geographically and didn't have much to do AT ALL w my kids- when they were 1 and 5 their Dad and I split and we got divorced (BAD situation for many reasons) but they couldn't have any contact w their "Dad" and his folks NEVER chose to speak to our kids again! My folks were military and not close! If I hadn't still had a set of grandparents they wouldn't have had ANY that were related to them! A neighbor couple CHOSE to love them and b grandparents to them! When they were 4 and 7- I met an amazing man and we raised each other's kids- they weren't "mine and yours" they were OURS- PERIOD!!!!!! My inlaws had 4 grandchildren- our 3 and my stepdaughter younger half sister- she wasn't blood related to ANY of us except her half sister but they were ONLY grandparents she ever had!!!!!! They were like that from the days she was born! All the kids are now adults and I am SO blessed to have SO many people who loved ALL of the kids! It TRULY takes a village
Yoooooo
😊😊❤ mm na 😮
@@MbalenhleMdluli-rh4im 12:30
Loved the ending....How she showed her heart and let them still be a part of Noah's life!! Not many would have done that after he went for sole custody!! She did the right thing. ..All of them together will help Noah become a great young man one day!! 💖
The real guy stopped seeing the kid and paying child support afterwards
I don’t think she didn’t not want him (or them because they are a couple) in his life. It became an issue when the father wanted to get soul custody, that’s when things became an issue. I bet it would’ve never been an issue if he didn’t go fighting for full custody when there wasn’t an issue in the first place.
@@cooleenw you know the real life story?
@@eunicemarisha2601 The movie was based on the true story of Vancouver Grizzles player Blue Edwards and Kimberly Van de Perre. Filmed on location where the events happened. When the Supreme Court reversed the appeal he stopped visitation and paying child support. Obviously being a father wasn't his priority.
While the two ladies were being true loving moms dad was probably out out making another future family member / court case.
This movie popped up in my feed. I started to watch it & could not stop. It felt real. All the actors were excellent. Thank you.
This movie is a huge lesson we learn. IF u done a mistake, don't cover it another mistake". I love her, she's a brave woman to fight her custody of her baby.
Wow, fantastic movie..... what a brilliant attorney with a kind heart and a brave mom who fight for her right for his son no matter what it cost. The love of a mother is truly cherished by their children.
And that's the way it should be,I'm a mom of 2 beautiful daughters and the Love I have for them is something they will always know,and being single with no help was pretty hard to say the least.
Ya fantastic movie and courageous story,well done.😥🥰💞✌️
The bond between Noah and his grandfather
❤🎉yeap beautiful love
She deserves to win the custody regardless of the racial issue. He left her when was pregnant and she has raised him up by herself. Justice
Hi did not want a baby from her ,I think this was unfair and she should not be with him from the minute she knew he was married the women always do this could not choose a single man ? Or reversed ? !!
this is common since you just have to spend alot of money an play the game before they come to that conclusion. If everyone use the own brains to see what in the best interest of the child . You can teach that baby about his culture without him been taken away from his birth mother. That's ridiculous an the fact that people have to spend thousands of dollars for is pathetic. If parents all around the world just agree on working out there issues instead of running to the courts making people wealthy they the custody department will bankrupt
I agree, race should have absolutely NOTHING to do with it!! It should be about, who’s the best and most responsible parent to raise the child........
@@anyacika1978 its still his fault
@@myroom7767 race is very important but it takes both the mother and the father to raise their child. She is a money grubbing attention seeking woman ed n that just wanted a meal ticket. She knew he was married and still slept with him. The true victims are the wife and child. They both need to grow up and put the child's needs first.
A child just need to be loved, no matter which race.
True word
Race definitely matters but I understand what your saying
@Shea Holland Hi I respect your opinion, but I am not convinced.
to bad it took $$$$$837749473843947 lawler fees to find out
Whites have been adopting black children, but black people were not afforded the same opportunity. Whites are mostly favored in custodies.
I can relate to ALL of this, because I am just another Nicole.
Fortunately our outcome was just as it was in this movie.
And the comment of “don’t sleep with someone you don’t know” is absolutely correct.
Hopefully someone will learn from this…
Wow! This right here was an eye-opener.
Loved it when she apologized to the wife - DAT IS WOMAN!!! It's the humility for me...
Great ending I couldn’t stop crying 😭... glad she won... Any mother who loves their children wholeheartedly will fight to the end for their children.
Only mothers fight for their children. A mother’s love is given to her by God, a gift.
Me too. Was so moved by the ending
@@brendalittlejohn8730 Wrong. Plenty of mothers don't fight for their kids, or care about them one single bit.
My mother? Well, I told her when I was like 8 or 9 that my stepfather was abusing me, and she said 'Oh you must be making that up'. He continued abusing me, so I told her I wanted to go and live with my Dad, and she said 'okay', and literally dropped me off on his back steps.
Shortly after that, her, my brother, and my stepfather moved to another state, and I never really saw them again.
Not all mothers fight for their kids.
And not only mothers fight for their kids. A male friend of mine accidentally got his girlfriend pregant. She wanted an abortion, he wanted the baby. She eventually said that if he wanted the baby so much, she would go through with the pregnancy, but, the second it was born, it was 100 percent his responsibility, and she never wanted anything to do with the baby.
He had to sign a thing promising he would never contact her, again, ever, and never tell the baby the mother's name, so, thah when the baby was grown up, he could never find her.
So that's what they did. She gave birth, handed the baby - a boy - over to him, and that was that. That baby boy is now somewhere in his mid-twenties, and is fine with never having know his mother.
She cheated with a married man. Good grief.
@@eve3363 and he cheated on his wife. What’s the difference?!
I don’t know if I can watch this movie till they end. 😭 It Breaks my heart. I’m also a single mom, I broke up with his father after I found that his married and after 2 months that we broke up I found out that I’m pregnant, i went experienced depression from the past while pregnant and the biggest decision I ever made in my life is to let my son live and tried to start a life without him. My son living with my parents and me working for his future. ☺️
i'am sad to hear that
I advise you to read the book of God (Allah) " The Holy Quran " to translate T.B irving
It contains solutions to many problems and suffering in our life today
Especially your suffering and your problem
Just work hard your child will be your priority soon......never be tired and never regret because your child is never a mistake
klutse janet Thank You, and Yeah, I never regret to have him.
good mom keep it up
Sorry Jessa
The ending was top notch. That folks is how you co-parent. The mom showed real class and grace. Kuddos to all of you. You will raise a healthy and happy child
I’m a proud black woman but I would never let anyone take my child away from me how would this black woman feel if someone would try and take her children away from her what they doing to Nicole is unfair.. What about the supportive parents the grandfather is and always has been there available for protection, love, caring.. why don’t they see that
I think the wife has been on her side the whole time. It's like she could feel Nicole's pain in spite of there being a child outside her marriage in the first place. The wife saw Nicole as a WOMAN {a MOTHER}, not a mistress.
Exactly… ❤❤❤
Tears tripping me
That was my thought...how would she like someone tonrip her daughters away from her. Even though the mother is white she is still the boys mother. Sons love their moms...period. I could never take another womans child away. Noahs father did wrong yet in the end he is being shown grace...grace they were not willing to give.
So glad the mother got full custody. The NERVE with "Ty" asking for full custody. Where was he when she was pregnant and struggling! When the child was in the hospital!? Being a father/parent comes with responsibility, not just when its convenient with you.

So What Suppose Mean
Everyday is a mothers day❣️❣️❣️ a mom who will do everything, anything for her children ❣️❣️
THE INTENSITY AND CONTENT OF THIS MOVIE WAS SPECTACULAR... AND, THE ENDING DISPLAYED THE PURITY OF GENUINE LOVE FOR THE OVERALL WELL BEING FOR A CHILD...
Mrs rivers is one hell of a woman that many side baby mommas should wish for. The face the woman is not denying Noah or shading Noah or expecting her husband to and willing to accept Noah as family is beautiful.
I love and respect the relationship between these two women. Makes life a lot easier for Noah and everyone bcoz of the peace between Noah's Mum and his step mother. Thanks you!!
The best statement here, nobody is giving dual credit and overlook that there was pain caused to create the situation they all find themselves in and it takes courage to forgive and accept.
The most important moment in this movie comes at the very end. An honest phone call between two mothers will have more of an impact on that child's life than any of the other nonsense. Worth watching!
SueJean Heinz yes.. agree with you... And could see beverly is loving him to..!
I'll have to admit u right I was crying 😂 love this movie
Oh rack off, the child only needs two parents - - essentially no step mothers necessary. Why they always believe they have rights is beyond me
@@k8lynmae why was Beverly even crying, she was just standing by her husband against a white, she was crying because she lost and she is disguising it as love for Noah
Nice story. Thrill was maintained till the end. Nobody, irrespective of colour or race, except mother knows how to grow and develop a child affectionately. They are the great source of life and enthusiasm for a child.
I look forward to a society that will hold men accountable for their actions. Most of you are saying "Women should say No to married men." What about him? Must he be going around approaching single women, and these women should say No to protect his marriage? Who's Married here? Married men must start acting married and respect their wives. Men must learn loyalty. Men must be good role models to their kids. If you're married, it's your responsibility to hold your end of your vows. Period! We'll talk about women who date married men some other time.
Anyways, this was a great movie.
Thanks for this !!!!
Men are never held accountable for anything. Women are heavy proponents of this bullshit ideology. It's the social indoctrination that skews all logical reasoning..Men defend men no matter what
Silly conversation about who's responsible for making a baby.
Exactly the woman were left to deal with Ty's mess
Beverly has been very decent, she was cheated on, a child was produced, I don't know how I would have behaved, she deserves so much more.
I agree with you, married men should act like married men! Once they say "I do" that's it, don't be a dog.
I have being passing this movie for months, any Jamaicans anywhere in the world big up and if you are not from Jamaica love you.

You are incorrect Miss, it's not that he disrespects his wife it's that he actually has NO respect for YOU. Keeping it real.
@@daisyjohnson5368 ,
Your statement is a very stupid one. With that said, if a married man cheats with other women, he is disrespecting his wife and the other women he cheats with. You must have a husband or boyfriend who cheats on you. Therefore, instead of blaming your disgusting cheating husband, you blame the women he cheats with. You are twisted. SMH!
Nicole is a prime example of what a good mom is. No matter how perfect you think you are, we are all bound to make mistakes. I command the man for wanting to be in His child life and the supportive wife, but a child is always best with its mother. We need more lawyers like that too. ❤️
No a child is always best with the more responsible parent. Don’t be sexist
Nicole got lucky
So powerful message. Beautiful film. Good man the lawyer, he was so commited and free of charge
I love the movie
Loved this,especially because I'm a mother of an 18 yr old mixed daughter,and she embraces both afro american culture and white as well. She's in a very good place in her life and her dad and I are very proud of her❤❤❤
Good for you. I'm glad it worked out ok for you all
I have 2 biracial sons so it was really an eye opener, and I really loved the ending. It takes a village to raise a child ❤ Great movie to watch.
Biracial ?? Most white people are a mix of many races and many cultures.
It doesn't take a village - or, more importantly, people who breed have no right to expect others to have anything to do with their babies. If you make the choice to breed, it is 100 percent your responsibility, and yours alone. Don't pawn your responsibilities off on others. That's so wrong, and so totally unethical.
I can't stand kids and babies. Never wanted any. Having one would be horrible for me, just horrifying. I wouldn't have it. No way. But if others feel differently and want to have a baby, fine, that's there choice, but it's also their responsibility. Not the villages, not mine.
@@Julia-nl3gq You commented with such strong emotion. That is NOT what that phrase means. Historically and still to this day (before the Western degeneracy and hate started bleeding into the rest of the world), a village was a community, united, working together...not pawning off or being irresponsible and "breeding". There was never anything negative attached and if the village WAS involved, majority of these carless "breedings" and childhood trauma would not be happening.

Wow! Great movie and this Mom is definitely one class act! They can all be in the child's life......so much more love! I fought for my daughter's best interests having left a very abusive husband....it took years and there were so many ups and downs through court, but I wouldn't quit.....I persevered and obtained full custody!
you are right
My heart shattered into pieces from33:03, that feeling of being separated from your kid. Even for a second, it can kill any loving parent inside. That pain on her face was so real. If you've never been forced to separate from your kids you will never understand. Ever. And you should thank God for that daily.
Same I'm bawling!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
Well she chose to sleep with a married man.
"With all of us in his life he can do anything". Love it!
And for once in Nicole's life she stood up for something so real and beautiful.
I am completely flashed from this story.The end shows us,that everything can be acomplished and love wins always wins.I really love this and I wished every child could make such experiencees of love and appreciation
In real life, he stopped paying child support and stopped visiting his son after he failed to get sole custody.
Just when I was tearing at her pain when giving away her baby to the wife, the new lawyer pulls a smart trick of asking her sensitive questions. Smart lawyer...what a painful movie! So unfair that there are people that have went through this and some still do! So sad
I love the ending. That is a lesson to learn that having a baby with your husband will bring unnecessary headaches, heartache, and turmoil. Raising your child in a functional family home is best for everyone in society.
I believe in you
Taught me a couple lessons while i`m fighting for my beloved son`s custody.Always put the little man`s best interests first,the future future will tame it`s own fate....LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA

While I’m black myself I was 100% on mums side. She fought hard for her baby and for the simple fact that he slept with her knowing he had a wife & family and then tried deny his son he didn’t deserve shared custody
While I am black and concur that his biological mom deserved custody of her son Noah, his infidelity is not a reason to deny him a shared custody with the child. The fact that he initially denied the child as his son still does not deny him the right to shared custody. The first point on the infidelity....both the biological mother and father of Noah are CHEATERS. And even if his father is a superficial jerk (regardless of the exterior of charity work and him being a "good father" BS), that doesn't mean that the child should not get the opportunity to know his sisters and his stepmother and by extension his superficial father that appears as a good father on "paper" because his wife props him up and loves all 3 of his children to include the illegitimate one when he doesn't. If he loved both his daughters he would be out sticking his male member in other women instead of being home with his family spending time with them. Time spend partying like he is single and has no children paints a completely different picture....But the wife/stepmother should not be punished and neither should the three children. I am glad Noah's birth mother decided to put Noah first as opposed to hold a grudge that would have ended up hurting her son. Good on both women. The tears of relief in that stepmother's eyes show how much she loves Noah....where is the father's love and affection for Noah other than treating him as a progeny for when his basket ball days are over and he wants to continue living his life through his son?
So true because he walked away the moment she told him that she was pregnant 😡😡😡
Nathalie Wilson I only say he should get a paper giving him any rights coz he didn’t act like a dad at all until it was conveniente for him. Noah’s mum never stopped any contact and never stopped him being a dad. He should get to say today is my dad etc. I just think as a mum btw that child has been hers from day one she should make every decision.
@@lisamarina6076 He is NOT a father but a "biological sperm donor". He is not there for his legitimate children (both his daughters) nor his illegitimate child (son). If you read my initial comment, you will see that I said that his biological mother deserved custody. And while she deserved custody, I do not believe his father should be cut out of his life. As far as the decisions on Noah's life goes, while his mother that he lives with should be the main decision maker, in life changing situations, I believe his father and step-mother should contribute IF they have stepped up to be parents in his life. His father has not by the end of the film....but his step-mother cares for him by the small snippets that the movie have shown even though limited.
@@nathaliewilson1817 He didn't Deserve Shit, that's Like giving an Award who does Everything Wrong and Lacks Moral Character to Raise a Child. The fAther is a LIAR, ADULTERER, and EXPOSED his Wife and Children to STDs and Public Shame. He Deserves Shit.
It's in the last scene where Noah's mom proves she really is a great mother.
Nice movie.
IT'S A GREAT STORY! It's real. And I love the end. That's what I kept thinking.. "They can HELP raise the child without taking him away from his Mom"
Nicole is so blessed and is highly favored by God. She has the best dad and stepmom, she has the best lawyer and her baby Noah is so adorable. God has been so good to her 💕 Such a touching story of metamorphosis and love 🦋♥️🦋
"god" made sure she had an adorable baby? the fuck is wrong with you.
She is a good mama, I love my mom. Now to be a single mama isn't really easy, and only certain people can understand!!!
No one can ever love a child more than they mother, so love this movie
id have to disagree with u on that...every parent loves their child whether mother or father
Not always. Some women bear children but are not made to be mothers.
However, I would say this movie had a happy ending.
True.
There is no doubt that a father loves his children, but it's different for mothers. We carry our babies inside our bodies for nine months and they are part of us. I will always remember what it felt like the first time my son moved inside me. I was happy the entire nine months and I loved how it felt. My life changed completely when he was born and became the most important thing in my life. Children are a part of their mother.
Yes they can it happens all the time. What do you think adoption is about? Also many mothers destroy their children before their born!!
Oh my goodness I am so emotionally and spiritually enlighten Thank you to the producers and everyone involved in the making of this movie I couldn't stop crying. It has really made me stop and think about life and how appreciation of life and your loved ones truly are.
This was so painful to watch, the stress they made that child go through, downsizing that poor mother and making her doubt herself, how cruel, how dare they talk about love and what's best,all in the same sentence, dramatizing, never to be wished to anyone, Blessings to all the mothers all over the world. my heart goes out to you and your struggles, don't
give up...🌺🍃
It's 7 months that my 2 year old child has been taken away from me because I'm not rich enough. My child is also biracial & will never know the other half of her family or a mother's love.
@@rakshamaharaj6944 Rich you can become, go back to school become a entrepreneur create a business. Fight with all your might, don't give up, all you have left is time... "USE IT"! 🌷🍃 Blessings 💌
@@rakshamaharaj6944 Just read your comment after hitting the comment section after the movie. Can I ask please how things are going, an update on your situation with your child? I hope things worked out ok for you both.
The originality of the movie is amazing..
I enjoyed the lawyer guy's role..lol
It was amazing to see nichole getting prettier as she fight for something right n noble..
Yeah I agree with you
This is the power of being a mum
Indeed,mothers love is everything!
It's a true story, matt!
watching her hand over that baby looked hard as .... but she did want him to be a dad. hard and touching film. I was glad she won. i am a black mum but i think children should be with the person who birth them.
Thanks for that mother and child have strong connection
Even if the "mother " is an alcoholic, abusive or unfit. She "birthed" them, so that is all it takes, right?
Don't play that game here
@@penniep8332 we are not talking about unfit mothers. why would anyone want a child in that environment
@@deviciatuitt1133I really don't want to have any conversation with someone like you. You just don't "get it"
Good day
I agreed with you,,, birth mother knows no bounds to raise a child of her own❤️❤️❤️
This is a very good movie on all aspects! The storyline, the dialogues, the acting. Best free TH-cam movies ever!
Anyways, as much as I feel for Nicole, I have to give it to Beverly. She is a good mother who loves Noah and so forgiving to her husband and tried to do the best for her family.
Ayyyyyeeee, Ayyyyyeeee!!!
Lol... I just wanted to say that I agree with you... Nicole put herself in a crazy position in the first place... Don't get me wrong, she was on birth control, so she was being responsible when it came to that...
My heart honestly breaks for both women, bc he played them both...
He's a scumbag!!!
I'm not mad at the wife either, bc her sorry butt husband, cheated on her & we all know that wasn't the first time either...
But the wife stepped up & even though it was a huge, hard pill to swallow, she came around & was good with Noah!!!!
A lot of women wouldn't have done that...
Bc it's a constant reminder that their husband cheated on them & now has a child & or children with these other women...
I'm proud of Nicole, stepping up & handling her business as a Mother, woman, ect...
She wasn't trying to get a "meal ticket" from Ty, she actually started having true feelings for him & of course she wanted a relationship with him... Why idk, bc he's not a "real man"...
He's a teenager in a mans body...
Playing with both of their emotions, hearts, ect...
So I SALUTE both women!!!
I swear, I can't stand men like this...
I can't stand the fact that they play with these women head, hearts, ect...
& Nicole was honest with him, about him being the father & DNA PROVED that he indeed was the father!!!!
Ohhh... That's another thing I can't stand about men....
Just bc their out running in these streets, with this woman, that woman, ect...
doesn't mean that every woman you've been with is doing the same thing as you, with other men... SMH!!!!!
I'm just being honest with you!!!!!!
This lawyer was amazing sometimes lawyers are underestimated for their incredible work...this shows us to give them a chance
I was in suspense the entire time, this is a great movie. The best place for a child, is with his mother unless, she’s a bad parent. I’m elated that the mom reached out to the wife and decided to let Noah have both families in his life.. Thanks for sharing.🥰😍🙏 😊
Amen
This is my most favorite movie ever. I did shed tears omg. I can recommend this to all my friends. Thumbs up!
Man, that's one of the bestest of movie yet, that we seen ever. The characters were marvelous and if everyone would see this movie life changes should develope a lot greater. I We commend those writers tremendously!!! Keep up the great work through time!!!
Listen to your parents. Don’t make them say, “ I told you so!”
I hated listening to my parents and step parents their dreams or life and never me...
My parents weren't the same nationality and either anyone else. So much was difficult to determine how to accept...
Oh no you don't mean it don't tell us that you do what so ever your parents asked you to we all make mistakes and we learn from that to become mature
@@laminesoumayata6297 If I had listened to 90% of my mom abnd dad's advice...
yes you are right....
Great inspiring movie! A person should be seen skin deep and not according to superficial color of a person's skin. More importantly, NO ONE CAN BEAT A MOTHER's LOVE FOR HER CHILD!
Thanks for uploading.
can we please talk about the fact that for the first four months of his life, his father totally ignored him?
Dawn taylor - Clearly “the wife” was used to him CHEATING🙄, she obviously has very low self esteem, doesn’t believe she can live without him🤮
Why women put up with CHEATERS? I will NEVER UNDERSTAND! Insecure, too afraid to go out and look for someone else? Or just don’t care?
I personally would kick his ass to the curb immediately! No QUESTIONS ASKED!
Exactly my point and the fact that most time of the visits he not there, like really
I went through that and my child is black I'm black father black I like the movie it just brought back too many memories for me
He's typical drop kick. Deadbeat dad. I know there a good dads out there but his moves r typical of a deadbeat one
@@glorybelieve9010 in my case I put up with a cheater due to low self-esteem and thinking I couldn't get anyone else and thinking I'm not good enough etc.
I trust no man now
What a wonderful movie very inspiring and touching movie and her dad he stepped up to be there for his grandson and daughter... it's not about color it's about loving Noah amd everyone coming together and protecting him
This story provided so many things ONE that color doesn't matter,TWO being famous doesn't matter,THREE being rich doesn't matter,FOUR being married with kids doesn't matter. The most important thing is that child is loved by the mother is far more important than the color of his skin. Now if the world could do the same,what a wonderful world this would be
I am glad that they are looking at a mother's love more seriously. Before the year 2000 this was not taken into consideration.
l have agreed with you 🤝
I like the character of Ty's wife, she able to accept Ty's son from other woman and she support his husband to take responsibility of the child. Thats awesome.. She has good heart and love. ❤❤
What I found strange is that no one seemed to react on how the father is a cheater, that's not a stable behavior for raising a child.
Good point!
It a man thing ..men can do but if women do that then everyone who find out will call her slut but is ok when their brother or their dad go out to mess with others women .double standard .
But not all men does that .
Exactly. The wife is such an idiot for accepting the husband's infidelity.
@@Geekizchic i agree with your statement
Nothing beats LOVE! It’s sure nice to see the mutual respect between two ladies. I appreciated Nicole apologizing to Beverly.
Yes. They were wonderful.
yeah, that was amazing, truly in the best interests of the child. i was wondering why they didn't just do that initially but i guess he had to try to get it all... :( Sick. That Beverly is a Canadian actress. She was on Sue Thomas, FB Eye.

Knowingly having an affair with a married person is absolutely disgusting and unforgivable. I bloody hate when mothers keep their child from the biological father and deny them access or even visitation. females who get pregnant and refuse to notify the father is also absolutely disgusting and unforgivable and that also goes for abortions without the fathers knowledge
Katelyn , I want to share with you the wisdom my grandma told me. Us ladies, we have two heads. One with a brain and one without a brain. One head gives good results and the other nothing. So it depends which brain the individual put or store her knowledge. One day, my helper shared her hardship with me and I shared this wisdom with her. We both had a very good laugh when she learned the meaning of this wisdom. She told me that. When she used the head without the brain. She had great feeling. No need to think at the moment. Later, she is paying the price for using the no brain head. So, I used this wisdom to the ladies that complained of having hardships.
Wow ❤😢just wow ❤ to this story... the lawyer and Nicole fought a case that holds sensitive issues on both sides and justice. WON 🏆 for the child❤
Love knows no boundaries we must embrace the reality of life is that You cannot take away any human being as a failure before you deep into waters
Great fight. Great mother. Great movie. I salute every single mom out there. ❤💪
I m a single mom too

Update please
I Love Her Daddy. So supportive. Such an Great Dad and Granddaddy
It's sad that Nicolas dad was right and she wouldn't listen. He isn't taking you out or meeting your parents. Only sees you when he wants!!
And he's married.
...BECAUSE he was MARRIED!!!! 🤔 Not hard to figure out ppl are acting appalled bc he's Black, forgetting the circumstances SHE knowingly got herself into... Stop acting like she was innocent and as if your racial microagressions aren't transparent as fuck!
He said in court he felt sorry for her.he is really a player and insane
watching from Jamaica.. Jamaican in the house.. anyone else?
Yoooooww Jamaican 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
Yp
Watching from Ohio
Me too it a nice movie
@@winnieabasi4051 very nice movie
I am so happy how this turned out. I am also in shock that this ever happened. I will never understand how a father would ever believe that taking a child away from his mother is in the child's best interest. I will also never understand how saying that his race takes part in the decision while ignoring the fact that he is both black and white. That means he has 2 cultures to learn; not just one. You can't just ignore his whiteness and give him to his black father because he doesn't look white so that he doesn't know or learn who he is as a whole person.
Her father and the boyfriend's wife are true warriors. Coz of these two They went through a lot,they didn't deserve all that pain suffering ect , but still they support. I think we need to listen to our parents because they know how the real world works.
Jesus christ, this hits so close to home!
I have eight children, five of them biological.
I won full and soul custody of my three oldest.
The story is too long to tell.
But I have never kept any of my children away from their mothers.
Their mothers, sometimes made the choice to stay away, but my door was always open to them.
I have been on both sides of this issue.
My twin girls turned 18 in December, they are just now understanding what happened when they were six years old.
If people really held the children's interest at heart, didn't make this about themselves, the children would not have to suffer these indignities.
there is no Legacy I could leave that is more important than my children.
this movie is powerful because of the subject matter.
Please, just make your children more important than you.
This way, you can't really go wrong.
Proud of you
All the Respect.
Women go through this evey day. Men think they're so all powerful.
I have no idea what your circumstances were pertaining to the custody of your kids nor how many mothers there were, but why did it take so long for you to get custody?
Good hearts with pure intentions always win in the end.u did great job as a dad and a person.
Wish my ex seeing it the same way as you
The courts prior to 2000 tried to make it a money thing. Whoever had the most money can say whatever they want to and disregard a mother's love.
Ahhh
Very good movie. Cried a tear. Love for the mother’s struggle to be with her son no matter what. Watch this ❤️ 🎥
so did I , mbee hive
And the bond between the mother & her dad. The father supported. her til the end..some would just leave you alone because you’re an adult. ♥️
I'm SO glad she got custody of her son, and I hope everyone involved in this event lived and are still living happy and productive lives, especially the boy who is probably a young man now.😊😊🙏🙏😍😍 Thanks for sharing this.
Good mother's always win. There is nothing to loose loving a child and working hard to keep them. No matter what skin color , love has no color.Thats what Noah will learn.
Hi pretty
No matter the difficult moments tossing around, everyone requires to feel cherished and loved. A love so real like that of a Mum. That lawyer inspired me at the supreme court.
Great movie. Great the way Beverly and Nicole handled the situation . Love knows no color 💕
I'm proud and so big salute to this filmmakers.
Sappy.....but happy for Noah.
Kudos to Nicole's father. With a Dad like that, she could weather any storm.
Kudos to Bev.
Sad that it was such a legal trauma, and sad that Tye is a bit hen-pecked, and egotistical.
All's well that ends well. Thanks for the well made character portrayals, true stories are my favorites.
Be blessed.
Beautiful movie,,and my heart hurt when I saw a mother handover her child to his dad.
I love the whole story...mother's love is more than enough...
Ladies, if a man is married, LEAVE HIM ALONE
MEN, If you are married, LEAVE THE LADIES ALONE!!!!
Ya, excellent advice, except when they lie & say they're "divorcing their wife".
Ha. Ha. Ha.
And you fall for that, right into love with him.

This movie has a lot of powerful aspects that the entire human race can learn from. Extremely enjoyable!!
The lawyer was cuter. Lol Lots of chemistry from those two from the beginning. He was a good lawyer and friend like person. He really stuck to his job and for free. We have to give Peter his props.
Ok, I shed tears when Noah looked back to his mom the first time he was at the airport and she started crying. I felt the pain..😢
Out of 60000 lawyer in Canada... I am here!!!
Because you are the best Peter ❤️
It was a pretty epic moment for him as well
A great movie- very well done. Great acting great script. So glad she won her son.
