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... ;)

I watched it twice. First, after a long night of insomnia. Second, 2 days later w my husband, who thanked me afterward for sharing the movie w him. Every part of this documentary keeps you riveted to the screen and we loved sharing the journey. I've always said that the BEST documentary I have ever watched (my brother and hubby agree) is the one about John Walsh from America's Most Wanted. My brother and I held hands through parts of it, crying and saluting his courage and bravery. But, now I have 2 favorite documentaries and am thankful for it. BRAVO Bryan and Angela and super big hugs to their (now) super big family! Oh, we downloaded 4 songs from the movie. Yes, very well done, indeed!

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"m very picky, but when I find something excellent, I let people know. This documentary is truly excellent. The filmmaker captures people effectively with a variety of styles. The video isn't always perfect, but it captures the real emotions and tells the story with subtle elegance. This is a very moving and very well told story about a very special couple who adopt a menagerie that seems to exceed that of Ben Affleck and Angelina Jolie's brood. One of their adopted clan decides she wants to learn more about her biological roots and begins a quest to find her birth parents. Beyond probability she succeeds thanks to a variety of seeming coincidences. But what does she find? Will her biological parents be happy to see her, or will her search result in a fresh rejection?
