Adoption is surprisingly pervasive in the world of cinema, and for those of us with an adopted child/children this can be great, but also occasionally traumatic. What this book and accompanying website do is try an flag up films that have adoption or related content, and draw out points of interest that can be used to discuss things with you child etc. Like any such endeavour i was not always in total agreement with some things, but overall this is a great reference tool, and should be applauded.
