This documentary convinced me about Closed adoptions. There was a lot of judgement from the adoptees. It is hard enough for a mother to give up her child, these people just open up the wounds.

The Belinda lady was a narcissist. She made Deborah's situation about her. What a lack of compassion! Making her relive that pain.

The documentary was what everybody wanted. How about kudos to Deborah for making the right decision to give the kids a chance at a better life.

Yes this documentary confirmed to me Closed adoptions are best but everyone is free to make their choice.

A trans-racial adoptee finds her birth mother, and meets the rest of a family who did not know she existed, including her birth father. A story about identity, the complexities of trans-racial adoption, and most importantly, closure.

Although I cannot say the topic of adoption is particularly interesting to me, the topic of roots is. Family history is important, at least to me, and this film combined both. It talked of the adopting parents, the biological family, the other kids in the home. It had that element of mixed race (though, like the mother said, the kids are just "people" and not a certain race beyond "human").

For those who have adopted or were adopted, this probably has even deeper meaning and emotional impact. Great work.

I was very impressed by this little documentary with a big subject. Angela Tucker is a 20-something African-American woman raised by white parents who goes in search of her birth mother, and finds a huge family that didn't know she existed.

I think part of what impressed me with this film was how little the race issue came up in spite of it being ever-so-present, which I think kinda says something about how far we've come as a nation with race relations. Angela's well-being was the top issue for both her adoptive white parents and African-American birth mother and father, in spite of the color or culture of her environment. And kudos to her family (both adopted and birth) and husband (the director of the film I believe-?) for being so supportive. We all should be so lucky to have so many people in our lives that care about us.

And just a heads-up: have some Kleenex nearby when watching this... ;)
