In the trailer, Kirk’s character and his wife will be adopting a baby with a birth mom who needs to give her baby to another family.
“We got the call. We have a son,” he says.
They named their adoptive son David. When he was in his high school years, he had the opportunity to meet his biological mom, Melissa.
“He is adopted” by a family “who could not have their own children,” Alex Kendrick says. “He was raised for 18 years. And Melissa reached out to him at that age, and he agreed to meet her in person.”
Adoption
Melissa believed that her son hates her for giving him up, however, it’s actually the opposite.
“It is such a beautiful thing when our hearts start beating along with God’s heart in valuing the orphan and caring for them,” Stephen Kendrick says. “God is a father to the fatherless, and He places the lonely into families. He created not only the family, but He created adoption.”
The real-life story is close to the hearts of the makers of the film as Stephen and Kirk are each adoptive fathers themselves. “Lifemark” is filled with Biblical themes that would teach viewers to love and forgive.
“This movie is pro-family. It’s pro-love, it’s pro-forgiveness, it’s pro-reconciliation and new beginnings,” Kirk said.
