About This Documentary
You Should be Grateful reflects the issues and experiences of what life is like as an adopted person.
In February 2018, a group of adoptees attended a Getaway, some meeting for the first time, where they opened up and shared their personal stories and experiences. Shortly thereafter, some were interviewed to reveal the hardened truths and myth busters of what it's really like to live a life that's pivoted around being adopted.
