マザーズ2017 野宿の妊婦 · マザーズ2017 野宿の妊婦 ‧ Drama ‧ 2017

Madoka is a homeless and pregnant woman who carries the baby of a man she met through an online dating service. She came to Takako Okada, the head of "Smile Baby" for help as she is coming to full-term. Although she was taken to a hospital without any problems, she learned of another NPO "Online adoption" that would give her quick cash if she promises to give the infant up for adoption. So, she changed to that NPO. Aiming for independence, Madoka pays tuition to the nursing school she was attending from the 200,000 yen she received from Nonogaki, the other NPO's representative. However, she started to feel uneasy about giving her baby to him because of his untrustworthy attitude. Madoka asks to cancel the contract, but Nonogaki tells her that she must return twice the amount of money that she had been given in order to cancel the contract and forces her to sign the parental authority abandonment agreement with a lawyer. Nonogaki receives large amounts of money from those who wish to have children and gives babies to adoptive parents without examining their personality, their ability to foster, or their ages. It is a malicious go-between who only considers the benefits to the adults and ignores the position of a child. Nevertheless, Madoka heads to the designated delivery location and gives her baby to the elderly adoptive parents.
