ADOPTED ID 60 Minutes documentary , everybody should watch it

Found in a ditch at birth a young woman who was adopted to a Canadian family , bravely return to Haiti to find her mother that left her .




synopsis:

This film uncovers the extraordinary journey of Judith Craig.  Abandoned at birth, she bravely returns to the impoverished nation of Haiti to find her parents. 

From the poverty-stricken families who’ve given up a child to the foreign families looking to adopt one, these disparate worlds collide amid Judith’s quest to solve the puzzle of her past.  With the sights and sounds of pre-earthquake Haiti as a backdrop, these intersecting lives provide a rare and intimate insight into the conditions surrounding transnational adoption. 

The Impact:

The aftermath of the horrific Haiti earthquake highlighted the need for transracial adoption and the benefit of families of wealthy nations assisting families of poorer nations.  In this phenomenon, little is known of the future impact on transracially adopted children. 

Adopted ID provides insight into the complexities of this relatively new type of family. Judith Craig, has lived it, felt it, understands it and wants to give back to other children and parents who are experiencing the same family dynamic.

Judith hopes this film will change the way you understand interracial adoption.
