A Deadly Adoption is a 2015 American made-for-television satirical thriller-drama film directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg (in her feature directories debut) and written by Andrew Steele. It meant to be a straight-faced lampoon of Lifetime Network's original content. It stars Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig as a typical middle-class husband and wife, with Jessica Lowndes serving as the agenda-driven villain. The film aired on Lifetime on June 20, 2015.
