    One of the best documentaries ever!!

    This documentary! Wow! What to even say!! It is so heartbreaking and hopeful and warm and shows the realities of what it is like to be adopted from another country. I feel like some people, myself included(in the past) thought how great and beautiful adoption and a happy ending, but did not realize of the trauma and struggles and pain that the adoptees have to go through. This documentary is so powerful and beautiful!

    Respectfully told....not exploitive.

    Well done with respect for all involved. The film kept the true human element rather than making it some horrific grandiose event. Yes it's sad for all involved when babies had to be abandoned but the focus stayed on how well things can turn out if people step up to care.

    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.

    And the world keeps getting smaller - as a good thing

    The families who allowed their lives to be followed in this documentary were very brave and deserve a lot of kudos. The girls are incredible and they started a journey that they invited us all along on that was far more than anyone could imagine. In a quiet and personal and very deep way.

    What I appreciated the most was seeing the view of the people in China and what they went through during that horrible time when the government dictated how many kids they could have: 1. It was also interesting learning what the orphanages were like at the time, having so many babies brought to them.

    This journey is a tear jerker, so have some tissues at hand.

    Lovely

    I needed a good, heartfelt, sincere documentary about good people, and this delivered. Other reviews so far have mentioned the compassion of the aunties / nannies, which is absolutely true, but I have to give a big shout-out to Liu Hao, the genealogy researcher who made herself vulnerable and cared deeply about all parties who wound up in these circumstances. She is the nucleus of a very emotional process for everyone.
