Goofs
In the kitchen scene after Rip Porter smashes his empty bottle and gets consoled by Wendy, the positions of his head and of their hands around each other's heads change too suddenly between the subsequent shots while lines are being spoken across the cuts.

After Rip Porter comes home early from work and Wendy waits for him to come out of the kitchen, she leans with her back into the sofa while the camera is on her right side. When the camera switches to her left side, she is suddenly leaning forward.

During the closing credits, the boat is clearly at a different location and moving faster during the wide shots from a distance than during the on-board shots.

Q
Is 'Like Dandelion Dust' based on a book?
A
Like Dandelion Dust (2006) is also a novel by American Christian fiction writer Karen Kingsbury. The novel was adapted for the movie by screenwriters Stephen J. Rivele and Michael Lachance.
Q
How does the movie end?
A
As they attempt to drive to the airport to leave Haiti with Joey, Jack and Molly are apprehended by the Haitian police and returned to the United States. Child services agent Allyson Bower (L. Scott Caldwell) tells them that Wendy Porter would like to see them. Wendy tells the Campbells how much Joey means to her and Rip, and the Campbells do the same. Allyson then presents the Campbells with revised adoption papers, already signed by Rip who, as Wendy explains, is not ready yet to be a father. Wendy adds her signature and then asks the Campbells to tell Joey that he has two mothers...'one that loved him so much that she couldn't let him go, and one that loved him so much that she had to.' She then asks to say goodbye to Joey. Joey seems truly sad when he realizes that he won't see Wendy anymore, but she gives him a locket with pictures of her and Rip and their address in it and invites him to come see them someday when he's 'a big strong man.' Joey then runs back into Jack and Molly's arms.
Q
How does the title relate to the movie?
A
On Joey's second trip to visit the Porters, Wendy shows him a dandelion head that has gone to seed and explains how to make a wish and blow the seeds from the dandelion in order to set the wish free so that it can come true.
