Somewhere Between 2011

     This is the story of four teenage girls.  They are united by the fact they were all adopted from China.  They live in different parts of the United States but each one could not be kept by their birth mother.  Many mothers were caught up in the One Child Policy.  Girls are not as prized as boys because boys will support the family.  Another fact they have in common is there is not very much information or none at all about their family in China.  80,000 girls have been adopted from China since 1989.

     All of the girls struggle with abandonment and wondering why their biological parents left them.  Some of the girls overcompensate by excelling in social and academic area.  In some of the families, there are other adopted girls.  This is very interesting and all the girls are unique.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
