Editorial Reviews

From the Producer
"We want children to know that if they were adopted, it is a wonderful lifelong journey. Let us all celebrate the roots from which they come and the branches that mold them into who they are and where they will go. The roots & the branches…..the tree……it is their legacy- two different kinds of love. This film rings true to the celebration of their legacy." Flory G. Herman, Executive Producer

Product Description
"WINNER: 2004 Film Advisory Board AWARD OF EXCELLENCE!" While the process of adoption has been receiving increasingly greater attention, the feelings of those touched by adoption are often overlooked. Director and executive producer Flory G. Herman, a member of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys since 1994, takes an intimate look at adoption in this new must-see 47 minute documentary-style film "I Have Roots and Branches"...Personal Reflections on Adoption, a 2004 winner of a prestigious Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence, recognized world-wide for quality family/children's entertainment. The film conveys a positive, encouraging and honest message about adoption, and is most appropriate for children viewers. Viewers will find out first hand how it feels to have been adopted and discover that all kids have common experiences growing up in their homes, surrounded by the families they know and love. Families formed through adoption, prospective adoptive and birth parents and professionals in the adoption community should not miss this wonderful film. The video is appropriate for schools and libraries as a resource for adoption education.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible adoption video!, April 26, 2004
By Debbie O. (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews
This is a beautiful, touching and inspiring film about adoption.
I saw this film at it's premiere and couldn't get the kids, the music and it's wonderful message out of my head. If you or your family has been touched by adoption, you won't want to miss this film. What a great gift this will make at holiday time for friends whose families are formed through adoption. This film is a positive, thoughtful and honest look at adoption- you hear the voice of the children and the birth mother, from whom the loving journey of adoption begins!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Film is a True Meaning of Open Adoptions, October 27, 2005
By JBotz "Jenn" (Benson, Az) - See all my reviews
This film is awesome and just goes to show that adoption can be a wonderful experience for everyone involved. Having giving up a child for adoption, it has been a wonderful experience. It was the best thing I could have done for that child, knowing that this child has all the love in the world, and is being cared for and couldn't ask for a better family. I loved this film and have let friends borrow it, that have been adopted or have adopted children. I tell everyone about it that mentions adoption.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not brilliant, but touching
This movie certainly wasn't an attention-grabber but maybe my need for that is a symtom of an over-entertained society. Read more
