    Great documentary

    Great documentary Was in tears most of the movie Really makes you think I felt for the parents that adopted I felt for the girls that were adopted I felt for the biological parents

    Made you think about alot of things.

    Outstanding with Respect and Dignity

    The movie is about the personal search of three independent girls. They are Asian, born in China and adopted by non-Asian American families.

    It is done with respect and dignity. It is highly emotional. We learn how to empathize with the unknown birth parents. We learn how to honor and love the caregivers from the orphanage. We learn how to accept our 'fate' in life. The adoptive families are open, honest and caring. The girls are all well adjusted and brought up with much respect for all.

    What I absolutely loved about the film was that it focuses on the caring side. It focuses on the compassion side. It avoids damning the Chinese government or the birth parents. Rather, it identifies the incredible difficult time period of the one child law. Even the cultural 'anti-girl' sentiment was treated with high respect and understanding.

    I encourage any children to see this. It teaches about love and family from a healthy positive outlook.

    My OUTSTANDING compliments to Netflix for a PHENOMENAL MOVIE.

    I loved this

    My husband and I just finished the movie. It is such an emotional journey. I really feel like I learned a lot, and the telling of all the different sides of the stories was so well done. Thank you to the girls, families and genealogist for bringing us along for the ride. The nannies in China are rock stars. I hope at some point there will be updates that you can let us in on. Thank you.

    What is a family?

    Three young women adopted as babies from China go on a journey to discover their roots. For them, it is a journey of self-discovery to find out who and what make up a family. They also discover a people who are not the stereotypes that media and politics would have us believe. This film is a journey into the heart. It is simply done, yet poweful.
