As a sixteen year old girl, who was adopted from the same orphanage, I would bet there was a lot more emotion going on than was expressed. I think the cameras would probably have made me feel a bit nervous to express such feelings, so please don't judge so harshly. When you don't know who your biological parents are, that brings up a lot of questions. You wonder who they were, what they were like, if you carry a part of them that's recognisable (eyes, certain favorite foods, personality, soul?). Other questions come up that are taunting and sad: why was I given up? Out of Love? Convenience? Both? They don't go away. I feel extremely lucky to be in America and have the life I have, but there is a sadness at being an outsider to the two cultures (American and Indian). I agree that we don't fit in, but perhaps that's the regular teenage angst? What are the chances, I always think, of me ending up where I am, and as a result, who I am? Fortunate indeed...It was a lovely documentary and I am proud of India's culture, and though I don't feel adequate enough to think of myself as representative of such a culture, I am glad to be Indian. I hope that this documentary inspires people from different nationalities to explore their ties to different countries or India if they desire it. And I am glad to find a documentary so close to my heart. Thank You.

I was very moved by this documentary. I was definitely able to relate to what the teenagers were feeling.I was abandoned on the streets of Agra 34 years ago. I was told that I was close to starvation. I was found and taken care of by Mother Theresa's organization, Missionaries of Charities. I was then adopted by German parents, who never flew to India but had a close friend pick me out of a lineup of children. My adoptive parents already had three kids of their owns. Growing up in Germany, I was never concerned about my race, but living here in the USA, for the first time I really had to think about my race. All my life, I grew up around white people till I moved here to Atlanta 17 years ago. My parents never taught me anything about my Indian culture. I always had a longing to get to know more about my culture so I watched a lot of Indian movies and ate at Indian restaurants.There was even a point in my life where I was ashamed to tell that I was adopted.I thank Jesus Christ now for saving my life and I have made a life mission, along with my husband, to share how Jesus loves us all so much. He saved me and now my life belongs to Him. Although we may have endured identity issues, we are so blessed to have been given a chance at a better life. With that in mind, if you have the opportunity to visit or give back to India in some manner, please do. Later this year, I will be launching a website where other orphans from India may share their testimony. If you would like to be updated about this project, you can contact me at RaniKClark@aol.com

God Bless:)

Wow, what a great documentary. Like many others who have commented on this web site I found myself often cringing at some of the comments about India made by the three girls. Then I think back to our first trip to India in 1998 to pick up our elder daughter whom we adopted from Kakinada AP and remember how different and often scary India seemed to this particular westerner. Our trip to pick up our second daughter from Pune in 2002 was so much easier than our first. We got to see India through the eyes of our elder daughter who was aged 6 at the time. We also had a better understanding of India, its culture and people - in fact we had come to love the place. I have often heard it said that as a tourist you can't wait to leave India while you are there, but once home cannot wait to return. I think that when you decide to adopt a child from another country, you should also take the attitude of adopting the country as well as the child. We as a family look forward to more trips in the future to India. This will provide us the opportunity of exploring India's beauty as well as giving our daughters the chance of discovering more about their cultural heritage. I congratulate the makers of this documentary on making a fantastic and thought-provoking film. It certainly has reaffirmed to me the importance of our daughters keeping up friendships they have made with fellow adoptive children. I hope that these three girls will again travel back to India as I am sure from personal experience that India will be better for them second time around.

I too am an adopted child from India. I came to America when I was three and a half. I was born in Bombay almost 28 years ago. Watching the video brought back memories of how I wanted to fit in. Since I was a little girl, I've always felt that I am white with brown skin and I still feel that way today. I got teased a lot because I had brown skin and my parents had white. I felt so out of place growing up socially. I look back at all the teasing, and the insecurity and realized that I was a fortunate child even though I got the cruelty from others. I am very lucky and very grateful for my adoption. I can't imagine who I would be if I wasn't adopted. If I grew up in India, I probably wouldn't have the luxuries and education that I have now. I think my biological mother did me a great service. I never blamed her for abandoning me. I am more grateful that she did. I was blessed to go into a family that could give me all the care and love. I can't ask for better parents. I was raised like I was biologically their own. How could I blame someone for giving me this life? I look at my adoption as my second chance of life. I am curious about my biological parents, but I have never felt the urge to find them. If I did, I have no information to go by. I was left on the steps of the orphanage right when I was born with no information. I have always had curiosities of what traits I got, medical history, biological siblings, etc.If I went back to India, I would feel so out of place. I would like to see the orphanage that I was in both in Bombay and Delhi. 27 years later, I don't know if anyone would remember me. I too would have doubts if I encountered someone. It is like the girls said, "The woman may just have wanted to feel good about herself because she made a child's life better." I see my friends having babies and remembering stories about their first walk, words, what they were like etc., and I have no information. I feel left out that I can't go by stories when I was baby/toddler. I learned to accept it but it still bothers me a little bit. Would I ever want to go back to India? Not by myself or even with my husband. I would like to go as a group, like the girls did or with family friends who are from India. To me India is pretty scary! It is a beautiful country but I would feel very intimidated. I love Indian food, the colors, and clothes, but from the documentary, India looks very depressing. I do have a desire to adopt a child from India. I want to be able to give a child an opportunity to live in a loving home. The girls and their family were very brave to take the opportunity to go back to India. I salute them! 

 

This documentary was well done. The girls in this documentary had a great life-changing event and they had an opportunity to meet people who had similar struggles/strengths of being adopted into a different culture. Personally, it would be nice to meet other woman my age that have been adopted into a white family and hear stories about their upbringing. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to watch a great documentary.

Not only have these children been given a second chance at life, they have been given a second chance at attaining eternal, everlasting life through knowing Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The ministry staff at the church and orphan home have shown these children the great love OF Christ while at the same time instilling a deep love FOR Christ. Our ministry has had the privilege of watching these children grow up over the past 12 years.

Literacy rates among adult women (aged 15 and above) have improved over time. According to the World Bank, the literacy rate has only increased by 3 percent from 2010 to 2020 which is why the pace needs improvement. With this in mind, organizations all over the world have implemented transformative initiatives that give vulnerable girls and women a second chance at life.
