Who Am I?

Synopsis

Three adults who were adopted as infants describe their feelings and attitudes towards their adoptive and biological parents, and their reactions when they first learnt that they were adopted. These revelations give insight into the problems of adjustment and identifications within the adoptive family, and also help towards understanding the problems of children who have experienced other forms of substitute care, for example in children’s homes.
