We watched this series now, all the episodes, and the kids and I really ennjoyed it. I admit, we fast forwarded thru a lot of the first episode where they were just talking about the trip, but from Kazakhstan thru Russia and on, we were hooked.

I did some casual research later and discovered Ewan McGregor and his wife adopted a little girl from Mongolia about a year after he got back, which was wonderful. You can tell on the DVD when he visits the orphanage there that he is very moved.

I've always said, anyone who visits an orphanage cannot help but be affected, and the older children really break your heart because you know there is very little chance they will ever get adopted. [Mine were adopted at 13 and 10.]

Thanks for the recommendation!
