Grant: I Believe in You Grant

For the past eight years, China has been the leading country for U.S. international adoptions. There are now approximately 70,000 Chinese adoptees being raised in the United States. Ninety-five percent of them are girls. Each year these girls face new questions regarding their adopted lives and surroundings. WO AI NI MOMMY is a documentary about Chinese adopted girls, their American adoptive families and the Chinese political and cultural pressure that led to their abandonment. The characters and events in this story will challenge our traditional notions of family, culture and race.
