Thank you to all the amazing adoptees who participated in this film. I hope you all enjoyed it and took something away from it because I know that I did. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and thank you for ending National Adoption/Adoptee Awareness Month with me on a strong note :))
Zoe my name is Timothy I was born in Louisiana and both of my biological parents are Asian. I was given away to people who abused me I haven't been able to live a normal life. Could u please write me back I have had a hard life and I really need help to share my story. I have a form of Autism and as a result go through discrimination with work and I'm going through homelessness
Such a wonderful video, so open, honest, and truly beautiful. I was adopted from Jiangsu Province and I'm living in England, it's so great to connect with other adoptees and hear peoples' stories!
Thank you all for your willingness to be vulnerable and share your stories. I have newfound appreciation for my sister Gwei, and for international/transracial adoption experiences in general after viewing this.
Always thought the 2nd wave (mostly Chinese) would have a leg up on the 1st wave (Korean) adoptees. All of our parents in the first wave had no clue what they were doing. No internet. No support groups. They were basically raising us blindly. I volunteered to talk to adoptee parents (just once a year) and they were nearly all Chinese adoptees. You could tell they were very aware of the challenges and wanted to get ahead of potential issues (realistically, it was Cali, so way less pitfalls as well).
Why not enroll in a Chinese language course? Why not take an ancestry DNA test, one that specializes in East Asian populations? Then do a GED match search so that all people that have been tested over different companies can be located in one pool. Why not send a picture of you when and where you were found to newspapers and local Chinese news shows. Non of this may work, but it’s worth a try. Hope this comment was helpful.

It's so wrong for people to think that you are lucky to be adopted or that you should feel grateful to be adopted. Be strong and safe, all of you!
My friend Gwei is in this video! Such a great video. Learned a lot. Thanks! ❤
This is so powerful, thank you. Thank you for putting together a community of voices. The unity is comforting to experience.
