Are You My Mother?: Ep 1 Of 2

Inter-country adoption is now the most common form of adoption in Australia, yet few people are aware of the power of the emotional experience when adoptees begin their search for birth parents living on continents thousands of kilometres away.

In the two-part documentary series, Are You My Mother?, two young Australians, originally adopted from overseas, set off on a quest to meet their birth mothers. Not everything is as expected and painful secrets are revealed. Each adopted child has two mothers, and their stories are the bittersweet accounts of inter-country adoption; the search for identity, of 'letting go', and the love and pain of parents from vastly different cultures and backgrounds.

Who is the real mother of these children? What fears are held by the loving adoptive parents? Why did the birth mothers relinquish their children, and where do the children now belong? These are stories of love and loss, guilt and pain, but ultimately they are redemptive journeys for everyone involved.

Since the 1970s approximately 15,000 adopted children from overseas have grown up as Australians and 2,000 of them return to their home country every year in search of their birth family. (Commissioned by SBS in English and Tagalog, English subtitles) (Documentary Series) (Part 1 of 2) PG CC WS
