Review of Different Colors, Same Family

Is Maine really the whitest state in the country? Somehow I'd like some stats on that. None-the-less, this is a pretty important piece. Not a lot of stories about transracial adoptions. As more and more adoptees are coming of age, awareness of cultural and personal identity is being more fully examined. Adopting parents are quite earnest and sincere about providing cultural ties and education for their children. This story shows three different families at different stages of their family life. Producer Elizabeth Chur has done a credible job shedding life on the changing face of families in America. This piece would tie into any community as more and more parents are looking to other cultures and countries to complete their families.
