CBC does have a website ... Take a guess and it is followed by a "CA" because its canada rather than "com" from the states.
The series is called "The Passionate Eye" and the name of the documentary is "Return to Sender".
It was truly horrible to watch - especially because the aparents were RICH RICH RICH (heart specialist) and they have adopted something like 5 children. She was sent back to a life of DIRE poverty and actually almost lost her own daughter to the Romanian orphanages (she is actually still at risk for that). At one point in time, because her daughter was starving, and she was under 20, they BOTH moved into an orphanage together to get fed. She was never able to go to school again.
The documentary ends with them saying that a lawyer from the states is going to help her get some restitution from her aparents. He is now an extremely wealthy doctor living in the states at a major american teaching hospital. What she really wants though is to be Romanian again so that her daughter cant be taken etc...
