London, UK – Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has acquired U.S. VOD rights to the quirky comedy-drama Adult Adoption. Adult Adoption will be available to rent and own on U.S. digital HD internet and satellite platforms on February 14, 2023, through Freestyle Digital Media.
Logline: Adult Adoption tells the story of a former foster child who has aged out of the foster care system and goes online to find love with a parent.
Rosy is a 25-year-old former foster child who aged out of foster care at 18. Since then, she has managed to build a stable albeit rudimentary life for herself. Finding herself compelled by a desire to know familial love, she turns to a different kind of online dating in search of what she never had, a parent.
After signing up for an adult adoption service, Rosy meets Jane, a high school teacher estranged from her own daughter, and the fast intimacy between the pair leads to an obsessive and complicated mother-daughter attachment. A funny, brutal film exploring the truth and fantasy of unconditional love.

Directed by Karen Knox and written by Ellie Moon, Adult Adoption was produced by Kristina Esposito and co-produced by Robyn Laliberte. The cast features Ellie Moon (as Rosy), Rebecca Northan (as Jane’), Leah Doz (as Helen) and Chelsea Muirhead (as Nola).
“Adult Adoption is a deep dive into one of our last true taboos, loneliness. It is an ode to solitude and a love letter to self-reliance,” said filmmakers Karen Knox & Ellie Moon. “It is an exploration of longing and alienation through the lens of a young woman who never had parents, and her quest to find unconditional love by whatever strange means necessary.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire Adult Adoption with Alex Nohe of Blood Sweat Honey.
