Great thread! Out of your list I've seen three: Daughter from Danang, Secrets and Lies, Smoke Signals. All three are excellent and would recommend them to anyone.

Here are my recommendations for adoption themed flicks:

1. Flirting with Disaster - a comedy in which an adult adoptee on a cross country trip is in search of his birth parents (http://www.allmovieguide.com/cg/avg.dll).

2. Catfish In Black Bean Sauce - a Vietnamese sister and brother adopted by an African American couple reunite with their birth mother. A comedy-drama (http://www.allmovieguide.com/cg/avg.dll).

3. My Flesh and Blood - documentary about a single mother raising 11 children, all of whom were adopted from the CA foster care system (http://www.allmovieguide.com/cg/avg.dll).

4. Fakin Da Funk - comedy-drama where a Chinese boy adopted by an African American family faces a culture clash in his neighborhood as an adolescent(http://www.allmovieguide.com/cg/avg.dll).

5. Losing Isiah - drama about an African American boy abandoned by his birth mother and adopted by a white couple. Birth mother eventually contests adoption and a custody trial ensues (http://www.allmovieguide.com/cg/avg.dll).

6. Who are the Debolts (and where did they get 19 kids)?
A documentary about a family where 13 of the kids were adopted (http://www.allmovieguide.com/cg/avg....avg&sql=A54399).

I don't know if there are any Soprano fans out there but there is currently an interesting adoption story line involving one of the major characters. I won't spoil it here, though.
