"We included Barb Lee & Nancy Kim Parsons and their film Adopted as part of our annual spring training… Their interactions with adoptive parent audiences are all about supporting parents and children towards success and connection – based in honesty and truth. I consider them really important new voices in the adoption world." - Beth Hall, Director of Pact, An Adoption Alliance, co-author of Inside Transracial Adoption
“The Spring Training was unlike anything I had expected. Using the film as a focal point from which we learned and discussed was an innovative concept… The perspectives expressed by members of the audience and the filmmakers only enhanced our learning and understanding.” -Michelle Garcia, adoptive mom
“The Q & A with the filmmakers shed more light on the complexities of adoption so masterfully captured in the film.” -Lisa Pious, adoptive mom
