Trailer for the documentary "Adopted", which will be released in Summer 2008.
--
Adopted reveals the grit rather than the glamour of transracial adoption. First-time director Barb Lee goes deep into the intimate lives of two well-meaning families and shows us the subtle challenges they face. The results are riveting, unpredictable and telling.
"...a moving and informative
film that touches the heart."
Dr. Joyce M. Pavao
CEO, Center for Family Connections
Author, The Family of Adoption
"Highly recommended and
thought-provoking for all!"
Hollee McGinnis, MSW
The Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute
"Adopted should be seen by all contemplating adoption, adoptive parents, adoption workers, and clinicians."
Jane A. Brown, MSW
Creator of The Adoption Playshops Program

why adopt from overseas ?? adopt from the thousands of kids in the US needing homes
-
@jackburton2009 explain how, please?
-
@danaseilhan Really?! You do understand how ignorant this comment makes you sound?
-
So what about all those white babies in orphanages? Why go all the way to China to adopt?
-
*shrug* i turned out just fine and all i got was love....
-
Hmmm... this kind of film just reinforces the stereotypes that people have about trans-racial adoption. It's true that there are some trans-racial adoptees who feel resentment, but it's false, and OFFENSIVE to assume that ALL of them do.
-
@dct1ca1 They DID do something wrong. They imported yet another non-white into a White country. Thus, they deserve all the flack they get from her and so much more.
-
Sounds like she was blaming them for something....
-
Why couldnt she just hop on a plane back to China and figure out her culture and who she was? Rather then dragging her real parents through the dirt for maybe what she didnt think they gave her and should have. Because instead of taking responsiblity for herself she decided to go through theropy and do drugs and blow all her money that way. But I am sure if you ask her, her parents forced her to do drugs also and they are to blame.
-
They adopted her in the 70's and like most American families in that time, the mother stayed at home and took care of the family and the husband went to work to support. So no they didnt have time to read all the books she did to convince herself that they did her so wrong, They were too busy raising, feeding, clothing and schooling her. I just hope that both parents passed on before this film was done and she made them watch it, as a parent I can'ge sitting and watching such a piece of trash.

If we had been raised in Asia, we wouldn't have these losses to begin with. And there would have *been* NO international adoption obstacles to bring to awareness.

Awesome documentary. A bit pricey, but worth every penny. It's not racist as one commentor noted...it's totally anti-racist. Haven't watched the companion DVD yet, but the movie itself was awesome.
