The first time I saw the movie UP I was so, so sad at the part when Ellie and Carl are in the doctor's office and Ellie looks downward and is dejected and heartbroken about the apparent news that she won't bear any children. My heart literally ached during that part.
I also have to admit, however, that after seeing the movie my husband and I both thought "They could have adopted." (That is not to say that adoption is necessarily a simple process or a decision that is easy to come to for everyone). But Hey, it's a movie- couldn't the creators have woven adoption into the storyline if they wanted to?
Some talented editors from Disney Pixar have merged together characters and scenes from Tangled, Despicable Me, and Toy Story to depict just that: What might have happened if Carl and Ellie had adopted. Very clever.
The most touching part to me is how adoption can affect generations- as shown by Carl and Ellie's grandchildren (the little girl from Toy Story 3 times TWO)!

Here's the clip if you haven't already seen it:

I hadn't seen this. I cried, nearly hysterically, in the theater when we saw UP the first time. My husband and I had the same conversation later. Thanks for sharing this.
