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.

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.

Watched this on Netflix just now and I found this documentary has many angles.

The documentary tells about the One Child Policy in China that left many babies stranded and given away by poor families and how many many years later three girls who were adopted by American parents trying to find their biological parents in China.

The documentary invokes questions about the policy itself. On one side it was a bit harsh since poor family that could not afford to pay the fine of USD8,500 must give away their child(ren). On the other side, had China not adopted this policy, could China who were a poor country rise to be the economic power today?

The documentary also tells about human nature in general: all parents love their kids, adopted or not, no matter where you come from.

The documentary also shows that people are at the core all the same. Thus, all the current conflicts are pointless and stupid, fired by those with political hunger and ambition.

Again, this documentary tells much more than just the journey and effort of the three girls trying to find their biological parents.

Oh, like any movie today, it has a plot twist.

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.

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!
