According to the
Journal of the American Medical Association, adoptees have significantly more behavioral problems than non-adopted children.
Adopted the Movie reveals the truth about children raised in transracial adoption families. Experts provide frank insight into what is really happening to the children and provide advice to adoptive parents on how to help transracial adoptees grow into healthy, strong, self-confident individuals.
This 2 DVD set includes both the feature documentary "Adopted" as well
as an educational DVD with 5 video teaching sessions. These 5 videos
are packed full of upfront advice from therapists, psychologists,
advocates, adult adoptees and adoptive parents. The most trusted names
in the adoption community come together on this DVD to help you
navigate the rewarding, but complex journey of adoption.
Although the documentary film focuses on transracially adoptive families with Asian children,
the accompanying 5-video teaching DVD is a must see for every family with children of color -- as the issues of identity, race, and self-esteem are issues that effect all children of color. We find the therapeutic advice to be useful to all parents raising children of color -- adopted or not. View the promo
