A thoughtful, provocative, passionate and tender exploration of the issues of transracial parenting through adoption. Told through the stories of children and parents, single parents, two parent households, families with children adopted from different cultures, families with both birth and adopted children and adult transracial adoptees, they share their lives and their histories. The joys and challenges of parenting are overlaid with the issues of race, adoption and connection combining with the experiences of adult adoptees tell a story of what it means to be a family. As Liza Steinberg, an African American woman who was adopted by Caucasian parents says in the tape...
"my bottom line is...transracial adoption is very hard and it takes a lot of work, but it can work successfully and it can produce healthy, happy children and adults, with a lot of work and the right information and education."

Ann Humphrey & Steve Calou are birth and adoptive parents of 2 children. Ann is a documentary director/writer who works in television, corporate and educational video. Steve is a partner in Video Arts, a digital state of the art post production facility.
