Losing Isaiah is a 1995 American drama film starring Jessica Lange and Halle Berry, directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal.

The next day, Isaiah narrowly escapes death by the garbage truck and is rushed to the hospital, where doctors discover that he is also addicted to crack cocaine because of his mother using it while she was pregnant with him.

Kailah’s lawyer argues that Isaiah belongs with his biological mother and that the Lewins lack the cultural awareness to raise an African American son.

The Lewins argue Kaihla is unfit due to her past drug addiction, abandoning Isaiah, and her limited education and financial resources.

In the end, the judge makes the difficult decision to overturn the adoption and return Isaiah to Khaila’s custody, much to the Lewins' horror and sadness.
