The child welfare services and adoption service spring into action… The former have to take care of the baby and support it during this limbo-like time, this period of uncertainty, while the latter must find a woman to become his adoptive mother.

I stället för svällande musik eller gråtmilda ansikten hör vi hur barnets hjärtfrekvens – omvandlat till mekaniska signaler – stiger av det direkta, tydliga och lugna tilltalet. Det räcker för att man ska knäcka ihop.

Vardagstonen, intimiteten och detaljerna gör tillsammans med de genomgående starka skådespelarinsatserna "I trygga händer" till en både sevärd och tänkvärd film.

Denne adoptionshistorie lægger sig smukt ind i strømmen af særegent gallisk engageret og indigneret socialrealisme, som interessant nok alligevel aldrig glemmer det hverdagspoetiske, arbejdspladsflirten, forsonende empati og almen menneskevarme.
