From 2000-2008, China was the
leading country for U.S.
international adoptions. There are
now approximately 70,000 Chinese
children being raised in the United
States. Wo Ai Ni Mommy explores
what happens when an older
Chinese girl is adopted into an
American family. This film reveals
the complicated gains and losses
that are an inherent aspect of
international, transracial adoption.
In 2007 Donna and Jeff Sadowsky
of Long Island, New York submitted
their dossier to adopt eight-year old
Fang Sui Yong from Guangzhou,
China. From the very first moment
Sui Yong meets her new mother,
Donna, we get a real sense of the
emotional confusion and loss Sui
Yong experiences, as adoption
workers translate their first words
of communication. This day will
change Sui Yong's life, forever.
Language, habits, food, everything
she knows will never be the same.
Her new life in America is filled with
happiness and confusion. As she
struggles to survive in this new
world, we witness her transform
into a lively, outspoken American.
Sui Yong has become someone
neither she nor Donna could have
imagined. In a sense, she's the
same girl Donna met in Guangzhou
all those months ago - and yet
she's utterly different.
