Thankyou everyone for all your comments its me Zara,I just want to let you all know the documentry is now available for purchase through my website.Please google me zarahphillips as i cannot put my website up here.
Hi Zara- I would like to invite you to recite at a reading for the 800,000 dead who are buried on Hart Island. Half are children, and include those who died while in NYC's foster or institutional care, if their parents' rights had been terminated. In these cases, the parents were not informed of their child's death. Please contact me. Thank to you and Darryl McDaniels for your fine work to open adoption records.
As a mother who searched 15 years to find the daughter I surrendered in 1966 I want to say great job and I will be passing this on. God Bless you for your efforts at educating others to the need for equal access for all.
The power of the film comes through on this "tease" and has me wanting more! I like the edits. It flows beautifully and makes me want to send it to everyone for whom this could be helpful. You are one of the few voices speaking for this and I know that there will be a great deal of gratitude coming your way. (And hopefully it will continue to open dialogues about this critical issue that seems to get swept under the rug by 99% of the country.) Good girl!!! Love you! Sandy
thanks for sharing , i too was adopted,
but still wonder what it would have been like if the children's aid society wasn't there to break up my family.
