“Offers an authentic, moving and truly inspirational portrait of what it means to be adopted. I have never felt so validated in my whole life.” — Jennifer Bao Yu, Adult Adoptee

“This set is a must-have for every transracial adoptive family’s library.”  — Kathy Urbina, FCC NY

Adopted reveals the grit rather than the glamor 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. One family is just beginning the process of adopting a baby from China and is filled with hope and possibility. The other family’s adopted Korean daughter is now 32 years old. Prompted by her adoptive mother’s terminal illness, she tries to create the bond they never had. The results are riveting, unpredictable and telling. While the two families are at opposite ends of the journey, their stories converge to show us that love isn’t always enough.

Please join us for this important event!  This is the first time the film will be shown in the Pacific Northwest (one of the subjects of the film grew up in coastal Washington).
