From article: 'The filmmaker intersperses Jennifer's poignant journey with a couple embarking on an adoption from China today. Through this lens, we witness the tearful joy of husband and wife learning about a child they could adopt and the early months of the child's life in their home. The couple describes the toddler's adjustment to her new surroundings, including day care, as seemingly easy. They exhibit an awareness of, and sensitivity to, the grieving of a child who has experienced a severe trauma coming into an entirely foreign culture all alone at such a young age.

Jennifer tenderly cares for her parents who are both facing terminal cancer. She demonstrates her love and loyalty while desperately trying to share her struggles and makes gut-wrenching attempts to engage her adoptive parents in dialogue about her roots.'

National Adoption Month. Please consider building your family through adoption. The children's home depicted below is much brighter, more cheerful than the one I worked in. I wish all of them could look as hopeful. Then again, I wish there wasn't a need for a children's institutional home at all.

Will you be going to see a performance of Shen Yun? What are your thoughts about it being linked to Falun Gong? Don't know what that is....you can read about it on this somewhat slanted article, or you can learn more by reading Bitter Winds, the 3rd book in my series. (There's a side plot that is linked to Falun Gong) Disclaimer: I am not for or against Falun Gong as thus far, I've read such contradictory articles about it and an unable to narrow down to all truths. I find the subject interesting--that is all.
