Changes

It's a complex plot with threads involving child abuse and domestic violence, both of which are dealt with sensitively, but Ramsay makes it obvious that both exist where you least expect it. Most worrying to me was the trade in babies: numerous factors have meant that few healthy, white babies are put up for adoption and even then the tests to become a parent of one of these children are stringent and long lasting. They can of course be circumvented if only you have the five-to-six figure sum of money available. Is it illegal or is it just a 'private adoption'? Are the brokers simply putting a woman, who can't for one reason or another keep a baby, in touch with someone who is desperate to have one? And does the fact that a large sum of money has changed hands mean that the child will be loved? Yeah - sure.
