Babies centers around the physical and emotional trauma of three friends, each in very different situations, trying to have children. Dinah plays Laura, one of the aforementioned friends. She and her husband have been trying for over a year to have a baby and have had no luck. A series of tests reveals that the problem isn't medical. So Laura, who wants a baby more than anything in the world, starts trying every way possible to become pregnant. Adoption is something she won't consider, and when David tries to discuss it Laura only becomes more determined to get pregnant. Her relentless determination drives a wedge between her and David, who decides he needs to spend a little time alone and leaves. After a while apart they do find their way back together. Eventually they decide on a form of adoption. In a nutshell, they pick a state, place ads explaining that they are a couple looking to adopt a child and so on, and basically "buy" a baby. A fifteen-year-old girl contacts them soon after, and agrees to let them adopt her unborn baby. So in the end David and Laura get the child they have longed for.
Cast includes Lindsay Wagner, Marcy Walker, and Adam Arkin.
