NotesA mother finds she has AIDS and then tries to get her son adopted. She rejects agencies since they won't let her choose the family. In desperation she goes to a Gay Men's Health Centre for help. For me this is turgid textbook stuff as is so usual with TV films. We see her going through all the moves like signing on for welfare but there's no feeling behind it all.
