Plot of October Baby (2011)

Hannah (Rachel Hendrix) is a 19-year-old college freshman who suffers from epilepsy, asthma and depression. On the verge of her theatrical debut in a university play, she suddenly collapses on stage. After a variety of tests, Hannah meets with her parents (John Schneider and Jennifer Price) and a doctor from the hospital where her father works. The doctor quotes passages from Hannah's journal that reveal that she has been feeling lost and unwanted. In the heated exchange that ensues, she learns not only that she is adopted, but that her biological mother had tried to abort her.

Hannah experiences a range of emotions from confusion, to anger, to desperation and seeks out her best friend, Jason (Jason Burkey), for advice. After sorting through her feelings and her options with Jason, she decides to find her birth mother. Jason invites her to go on a trip for spring break with a group of his friends who are going to New Orleans, Louisiana. Hannah's father, Jacob Lawson forbids her to go, because of her illness. He says he trusts her to make the right decision, regardless of his opinion. Hannah decides to go because she says she wants," answers to all these questions about who she is. " She sets out on a journey that leads her to her birthplace, Mobile, Alabama. While staying at a hotel overnight, Jason's girlfriend Alanna( Colleen Trusler) says some hurtful things to Hannah, who eventually leaves when told that Alanna and Jason didn't want her to come on the trip. Jason decides to help her find the hospital where she was born. Upon arriving, they find it is been vacant for years and is locked up. Hannah pries the back door open and her and Jason are arrested. The kind sheriff, however, allows them to go when she tells him her reason for trying to get in. He gives her the name and address of the nurse who signed her birth certificate. She locates the nurse (Jasmine Guy) who assisted in the abortion, and they have an emotional encounter while the nurse describes the circumstances behind not only her birth, but that of her twin brother, whom she knew nothing about. She leaves the nurse's apartment knowing not only the new (changed) name of her birth mother but where she works.

When she finally meets her biological mother (Shari Rigby), she is overwhelmed with feelings of rejection, anger and hatred by her mother's rejection. Just then, her father arrives to take her home, when he finds she lied to him about being with others beside Jason and also that she had checked in with her doctor while traveling. Also, from Jason's girlfriend, he discovers their arrest for breaking and entering. He also tells Jason he is not permitted to visit, call, or interact with Hannah, because he had lied about what they were doing. Jason returns to the hotel where the rest of the college friends are staying. He breaks up with his girlfriend, Alanna, after she apologizes for her cruel actions, and returns home. He then calls Dr. Lawson( Hannah's father) and says he's sorry for lying and will no longer be seeing Hannah.

Hannah's birth parents also go through their own pain and suffering, deciding to tell Hannah the details of their choice to adopt both her and her brother - her brother dying just months later. Her mother( Jennifer Price) also relates to her the fact that they'd been pregnant with twins and lost them at 24 weeks. They'd then seen an adoption request for Hannah and her brother at a pregnancy crisis center where Grace( Jennifer Price) had volunteered.

Hannah wanders aimlessly until she sees a Catholic church and goes in. She seeks consolation from a priest (Rodney Clark). He says to her: "Because we have been forgiven by God, we should forgive each other. In Jesus, you are forgiven, and, because you are forgiven, you have the power to forgive, to choose to forgive. Let it go. Hatred is a burden you no longer need to carry. Only in forgiveness can you be free, Hannah—forgiveness that is well beyond your grasp, or mine, a forgiveness that you can’t find on a trip or even in this cathedral. But, if the Son shall set you free, you will be free indeed."× Hannah experiences an epiphany and finds she is able to forgive her biological mother and forget about the botched abortion. Jason takes Hannah back to the theater where she'd collapsed and says they should finish the play together. Hannah begins to realize he wants to be much more than a friend and starts to fall in love.The movie ends with them leaving to go to their college dorms. Hannah hugs both her parents and then runs back into her father's arms [[John Schneider ]and thanks him for wanting her, when no one else did. She is last seen smiling proudly at him and holding Jason's hand with a overwhelming grateful look at her dad.
