Most Asian parents are too focused on school & grades. Nothing unusual in that. Probably her Mother was strict but so are so many biological parents. And so many kids abt that age wish their parents all kind of bad things if parents are strict / dominating. . Just that accidentally discovering she was adopted fractured the relationship in her case.

What an ungrateful woman. This beautiful couple gave her a safe, loving and protective home.

You’re centering the adoptive parents feelings instead of the person being separated from their biological family, the adoptee. Being given a good family doesn’t erase maternal separation trauma.

Her uncle made me cry you can see he remembered everything. She also favors him glad she found them before the mother, they showed she was loved

I feel Rebecca is somewhat stuck in that emotional state of child when she first discovered about her adoption. It's almost like a traumatic episode. She can't really shake off her need.

Omg and now she's dragging her ill husband through the streets for hours and all she can talk about is how she feels sorry for HERSELF.

57:36 Rebecca curtly saying "I've already deleted all of the pictures; everything, .....I don't want to look at them again", (I believe she's referring to the lovely family that was also looking for their long lost adopted family member). She still had me empathizing with her until this very telling remark about her character. She ONLY cares about herself and NO ONE else. If it was me, I would have kept the photos and would have prayed for the other family; that they would be able to locate their loved one. I would have had compassion on them as they have similar pain as she.....but Rebecca can't see the pain of others, only her own pain. It's unfortunate... She is blind to her husbands pain, and to his undying love for her, of which she should be grateful. To make him travel in his condition shows a lack of compassion and understanding on her part....what she accuses her adoptive parents of...she is also exhibiting. I will pray for her.

I sense he wants resolution for her just as much, so maybe he chose to go with her?? Anyway, yes, that statement she made was very telling. She's got tunnel vision and a whole lot of anger and resentment to go along with it. If she let go of the anger, she'd be better off, with and without knowing her bio mom.

I agree with you too. When she said, so angry, that she had already deleted all the photos. Her husband is saying he hasn’t and can’t. One has empathy, the other has none. The family whose photos she deleted was genuinely looking for their missing kin, that’s why they didn’t hold back with the DNA test. Doesn’t she have any empathy, care for those who just like her, were hoping they had found their missing grand daughter, aunt, cousin?

i sense anger and resentment towards her adoptive parents. from what she said, they seemed to want to "create" a particular version of a child they wanted. I don't doubt they are the reason why there is nothing in the registrars records. She said they were controlling and demanding, everything seemed to center around school and education. So much so that they erased her past so as to create a new/different/false blueprint of who she is. I can see why she's upset. By the same token, I agree to some degree that although she may not now her roots and her memories with adoptive parents are not all good, perhaps she should start creating a new history for her own children by focusing on the positive and exploring her culture; change the blueprint, if you will. But I tell you what, as distant as she may be with her adoptive mother, she is as determined and committed to doing things her way, just like her adoptive mother did with her. ironic isn't it? (so much wasted time and energy to end up right back where she started. sad.)

My thought

I better not comment on Rebecca except she needs to get some help.... But my heart goes out to her adoptive parents and her loving husband....

One journey that was against all odds, turned out beautiful. The Rebecca story, she was raised with the best of "everything" and while I do see her upset at being molded into who her adopted parents wanted her to be, it would seem they had nothing but love and good intent. Then she finds an amazing life, with an amazing man, has a beautiful family, and nothing is enough! Even when her husband is in so much pain to go on, he is with her supporting her. I can't say that I don't know the void not knowing where I began or how my story started. Rebecca has been given a story that so many children who are abandoned could only dream of from a young age. She was ungrateful for parents that loved her, and now onto that into an adult who has built a seemingly wonderful life that is still not enough. Perspective! You maybe not be able to know how you started, but you really could appreciate a little of what the life you were given has gave you! I know so many that would be grateful for half of what you were given in the life you got!

I am so happy for Rhea, her pain can begin to heal. Her mom looks so broken. May they find peace.

Rebecca is full of self-pity, the privilege to be able to search for her mother at all shows what luxury she enjoys. She owes this to the adoption, but on the other hand she is looking for love, which neither the adoptive parents nor her own family are able to give her. Still, I don't want to call her ungrateful, because the pain of not knowing where you come from can be immense, maybe it helps to figure out who you are. It's not just the past that defines you, but also the present. The documentary of course only gives a small part of her life, but in the end I feel sorry for her husband.

Cried sooo much. I pray Rebecca finds her peace and prayers for her husband too. Those disorders are awful I feel for them.

Being fixated on our past wont let us appreciate the present. I hope the adopted parents find peace and happiness in knowing they did their best to raise a child.

I don't know how old this is, but Rebecca seems to need to get her priorities straight. Her searching for her birth family is taking time away from her children and her husband who has a progressive neurological disorder. She should be concentrating on him and the time he has left. She should be concentrating on her children and how they are probably already feeling about what is happening to their father. There were so many times in the video that he was struggling to walk, and she didn't address it at all. He even called out to her! She needs a good therapist who can help her deal with the loss of her birth family, and the animosity she feels for her adoptive parents. Just my opinion on the matter.

So I throw myself into my career which has been quite successful. I could have given so much to a child but when I see Rebecca's story I am glad I protected my heart in that regard. That is not to say I have not been helpful in mentoring young people. I do a a niece that I love very very much and have given her all I have been allowed to give but that is the closest I will ever come to in having my own child..

Riya is very good person this earth needs people like her☺💖

Rhea is a beautiful soul, from the start she had her issues, I mean if you are adopted you want to know where you come from. She was respectful of her adoptive parents and grateful for the chance at a better life. Upon seeing her mother, she was nothing short of adorable, in awe and loving to her biological mother and her family. Rebecca on the other hand, started with anger and ended up angrier as the show progressed. Sure she find out about being adopted and perhaps her parents should have told her, but not an ounce of gratitude for the new life she was given. I mean she cannot even find where she comes from. Her husband is very sick and she is dragging him without regards to his condition. He even said way early that she told him that she was carrying a lot baggage 🧳, and he said he had no hoe idea how much. She stayed in the unknown for being sun an angry person.

True.. But everyone is different every journey and life Is not the Same

We are proud parents of a daughter, 35, and a son 30, both adopted from Mumbai, India. Adoption is not an action of charity but a very selfish action on our part. We are grateful to our children for the experience. We do not expect our children to be grateful. All we crave is love and we are lucky in that regard. Now we have a 10-month old grandson on whom we dote! The entire adoption process was handled extremely professionally with all records being available. Our children were told that they were adopted from the beginning. The agencies in India also recommended us to tell them stories of Krishna, Sita and several other revered mythological character to instill in them self-worth. Extended families on both sides have embraced them with much love, affection and respect. We have taken our children to the orphanages from where they were adopted. We as parents do not feel threatened. But, neither of them have evinced any interest in tracing their birth mothers. Our children are respectful of the privacy of their birth parents. I am happy for Rhea. Rebecca has some deep seated issues. I do not agree with her but I do not criticize her. I hope she seeks professional help. She needs peace and calm to take care of four children, her loving husband, and yes, taking care of herself.

That's interesting. I'm American and this woman sounds undeniably Scottish to my ears. I heard nothing familiar in her accent.

She is obsessed in a very unhealthy way . What a miserable life that must be ! For her whole family.

Rebecca’s husband is very sweet and backs her up wonderfully. ❤️

The beauty and pain in those mothers coming forward, hoping. A mother never forgets. ❤😢

Maybe until Rebecca learn to accept n be grateful to her adoptive parents ...then she'll find her biological mother....God has a way to make us humble and appreciate his gift of life

So happy for Rhea. Praying for Rebecca.

I understand the frustration some people may feel towards Rebecca, but this is only a snippet of an entire life that we don't know. She could be the most loving wife but they may have omitted this as it is not what the documentary is about. Not being told you are adopted from a young age and finding out much later in life is actually heartbreaking, I understand her being upset with her adoptive parents. They lied to her. Do I think she should work towards forgiving them? Yes, absolutely because I do believe they did their best. But separation from your birth mother is still a trauma, no matter what the circumstances are. I wish more people tried to understand the void adoptees feel vs trying to tell them how they should feel. It is highly dismissive and continues to perpetuate narratives that hurt and silence actual adoptees, LIVING in this reality.

The did not lie to Rebecca. They had not told her because of cultural taboo during that time that Rebecca also alludes to, and to protect her from being bullied, etc.

I feel for Rebecca, I hope you find your parents. You have an amazing family and a very supportive husband. I which you all happiness and lots of luck on your search

I'm enraged by how many people agree and comment that she should be grateful towards her adoptive parents. But we don't know what's the whole story behind her resenting her parents. She said she was raised in fear. There must be smth for why she feels resentful. So guys let's not be so quick to judge.

Rebecca needs a reality wakeup, I feel for her husband, so many suffering while she had very good adoption parents

Rebecca is ungrateful to the family who raised them with love and care as their own child, that's totally wrong. On the other hand, Riya is grateful and at the same time she had good feeling for her birth mother too.

She said she was raised in fear and it was all about school, grades and an education. And they did not tell her she was adopted. She stumbled upon that information. You can't blame her.

That’s a very rude thing to say. Who tF are you to say how she should feel? You don’t know what trauma she experienced. And to compare the two stories is another stupid move. What happened to if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all👈🏾

I don't feel any empathy for Rebecca, she's a heartless, ungrateful human. She did not value the gift that so many homeless children from that part of the world wishes for, she needed to know how it feels to be a street urchin. Sorrow for her adoptive parents for loving and giving her too much. She treats her adoptive parents as though they don't exist. She speaks as if they knew her parents. What an entitled fool.

My heart breaks for Rebecca’s husband in this video

She looks like the youngest uncle as well one that was beautiful

Rea looks just like her uncle

Rebecca is so young, in time she will come to a realization about her adoptive parents.

Rebecca is a spoilt brat. How unkind and self=centered can one person become?! She was rescued! She was loved! She was adored and given everything! She can never be satisfied because she does not have a thankful cell in her body. I feel sorry for her adoptive parents that they are so disrespected.

What a thankless lady to not to understand the feeling of her adopted parents..They helped changed her fortune and lift her up from ending up being poor and miserable..I feel sorry for parents

I am so happy for Rhea 😊

It is always wonderful to know the roots

wow this makes me in teary eyes^^

I am so happy for Rhea 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️

Alert! Those official deteriorating Sri Lankan documents, logs, and record books need to be filmed and archived!

I am truly sorry for Rebecca.Your adoptive parents are also your parents, they gave you love, a new country, they were there for you, rejecting them is a capital sin and no blessings will follow you. the bible says, "honor your father and mother that you may have abundant life" I will tell her one thing that is true. she needs to go and love her adoptive parents, give them respect ask for their forgiveness for rejecting them and then she will find her mother. Dear Rebecca, I send you love.

Rebecca isn’t a adult she is stuck being a 8 year old hurting because she find’s out she is adopted. She is punishing the people who raised her out of pettiness.

May God Bless you all.

We feel sympathetic both these girls and share their pain and predicament

Ungrateful and unfair to the people who raised her and gave her a good future.😢

I feel like with the advancement of DNA technology there should be a database by now so adoptees don't go through so much emotional roller coasters.... this makes me cry each time

There is- "forensic genealogy." It takes money and experts, though.

What an eye opening expose’ about the heart longing to connect with one’s own roots. Powerful, deep, touching, brave young women supported by strong loving partners! How blessed each are by the ones who dearly & clearly love them! This whole piece reminded me of the heartbreaking commercials I would often see on tv here in 🇺🇸 when I was a child. SAVE THE CHILDREN Foundation. I would cry as a child seeing children in third world countries who were hungry & suffering! I would ask my parents if we could adopt one or more of these children. My parents had four of us kids already. They told me that we couldn’t adopt a child. They couldn’t afford more children. My heart would break for the starving children around the world. Now that I’ve watched this expose’, I think differently. I never considered the loss a child would feel by being given up by one’s birth mother. It’s tragic how fragile is the tender development of a child suffering loss in this way. Would their lives have been more fulfilling & connected had they never been adopted out? It’s impossible to say. The good intentions of adoptive parents may not ever have satisfied the needs of a child wounded by such separation. No good outcomes can be guaranteed. This documentary has brought to my mind so many more questions than resolutions. Bittersweet indeed. Well done.

Exactly, I too wonder if it would be much better to build good orphanages in their birth-country and keep them there, not pick them up from their roots and force them into a totally different country!! Maybe orphanage-life would be better for them, with kind, loving workers.

Rebeccas adoptive parents are elderly. She should be calling them daily and Thanking them for adopting her. If she doesn’t she will live to regret it!

At least Rebecca was raised by a couple from her own cultural identity and national heritage. (Did lack of birth and court documentation make adoption by westerners less attractive?). Her abandonment on a hospital parking lot bench does diminish the trail. As her birth was apparently at home, there is likelihood someone knows about her birth. DNA offers hope, once potential candidates are located.

Yes, she is lucky in quite a few ways. Lots of people end up being raised in a completely different culture, or by a family of a completely different race...and while I'm sure most of those kids love their families regardless, that's a huge piece of yourself that's missing - and your physical differences often make you feel lonely in your community.

Thanks to God for bringing family together ❤️ 🙏 🙌

So she rarely talks to her adoptive parents because they didn’t tell her she was adopted? Yaar sometimes in life, things are better left un-discovered. The mother said” if I knew where her real parents were, id already have taken her to see them” and she has every right to be upset with them. But at the end of the day, she’s gotta realize the people who grew her, and continue to love her ARE HER PARENTS. I pray she finds them, but the relationship with them will always be strained🥱 she also has to take into consideration they may not want anything to do w her.

Nice story. I wish they have updates on her progress in the future.

I eventually just started to skip over Rebecca. She will one day regret how she refused to see how blessed she is and what time she could have spent with her husband actually living her life. I feel so bad for him.
