Having never heard of this film prior to watching and also not realizing that this was a "Lifetime television" movie until after seeing several comments and looking further into the film.

Found it quite different and actually enjoyable. It is predictable and the "twists" are quite obvious but given the situation it's a solid film to pass the time.

We see Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig (two comedians) in a rather serious dark film and at points we suspect that the film to be a joke or a parody but they seemed to play it straight throughout.

A Deadly Adoption is a short enough film where everything seems to happen rather quickly, so it doesn't necessarily drag. For a Lifetime movie starring two big actors it's solid.
