Film of value in therapy

Currently my newest daughter’s therapist is using the film One Family: An Ethiopian Adoption with her. My daughter had no chance to say goodbye to the distant relatives she lived with for a time, so Meskerem’s goodbye scene has, in some ways, become my daughter’s (I would guess this is true for other children as well). The film is the only thing that triggers my daughter’s memories of Ethiopia so it’s been quite helpful for her. Thank you for making such a fine film.

Have you considered making a follow-up? We would love to see how Meskerem is doing now and what advice she has for those girls and boys following behind her, still new to America.
