NOTES A 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.
