5000 miles - Polish adoption documentary
Ok y'all "5000 Miles" is a fabulous film. I am going to try to talk my husband into buying a video camera so we can document our adoption. It was an amazing to see people going through some of the same emotions and situations that we have gone through. It should be required watching for all people going through any adoption!
I really loved Mike and his wife...I really thought they were so awesome to open up their lives to us. I cried at one point and then cried after it was over because I wanted to leave for Poland to get our children...Even my husband "had something in his eye" when it ended. Let me know if you need more information! I am going to make all my friends and family watch it...I mean I actually had to watch the video of two friends give birth...this is way better and less graphic! Feel free to e-mail me if you want any additional info...

I also was brought to tears,, The idea of videoing their journey and sharing it, was just wonderful to watch.

PM or E-mail the OP for the website where you can get it sooner. I liked that website, they sent a cute corny poem when they had shipped it and a surprise with it.
As for the movie, I loved it. It got me all excited, but at the same time, so nervous. My husband too will have to go home earlier than I will and I will have to stay the whole time. Part of me is very nervous about the idea of being in a foreign country for so long by myself with a young child.

I thought it was cute too, and we got our video very fast. I wanted to post the website, but thought we weren't allowed to post commerical websites here.

My husband bought it for me for my birthday
 As it turns out, Mike and his wife were in Poland at the same time we were! Had I known that, we could have met up in Warsaw at some point. Happy near 1 year home/ Gotcha day, Mike!

Oh - please forgive - I didn't even consider posting the website to get the film since we were all asking about it.
If so, my appologies! Jacqueline

Thank you!
Many thanks for the grace, it's much appreciated. I'll be looking for my rules and regs to review this afternoon.
I just opened my mailbox and there was the movie! Mr. L bought it for us without telling me! Yeah!
