they were having second thoughts by the end, when the initially cute kid starts crying out loud.
Lol. It seemed that they were having second thoughts when the camera rested on the kid playing with the cell phone and they looked at each other as if to say, 'what are we getting ourselves into?'
I didn't really get the feeling that Cornelia was crazy about children from the way she seemed so uncomfortable with holding her friend's baby at the beginning. She was obviously uncomfortable at the mom and tots music class as well--and it didn't seem like a painful discomfort either, which it would have been if she was really lamenting not having kids. It seemed more like she couldn't imagine herself actually enjoying a class like that.
That's why the ending came out of left field--Josh and Cornelia seemed to be quite uncomfortable with having kids throughout the film and then they decide to adopt. Of course people can change their minds, but this ending seemed to be tacked on. And on a realistic note, how could they afford an adoption? Josh wasn't making much money and Cornelia worked for her father presumably not making that much either. Plus, they both seemed to always be working--who would actually be raising the child?
And all the pieces matter (The Wire)

'what are we getting ourselves into?'
right? i don't think they went through with it.
and i agree that cornelia wasn't really prepared to be a mother (but not because f bing obviously uncomfortable in that ridiculous class - who wouldn't be?!).
And on a realistic note, how could they afford an adoption? Josh wasn't making much money and Cornelia worked for her father presumably not making that much either.
maybe her father was helping, i don't know.
