    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
