Acclaimed Documentary On International Adoption, 'Long Wait For Home' With Discussion Led By The Director, Dr. Changfu Chang November 8, 2009

International adoption has increasingly become a national phenomenon in the United States. In the last two decades, many American families have gone to China to adopt children and to provide them with loving homes, but there are unanswered questions about these international adoptions. Dr. Changfu Chang's documentary, 'Long Wait For Home,' attempts to answer some of these questions. In the film, we meet birth parents who share with us the hard decisions they have made; we go to orphanages and take an intimate look at the living conditions; and we also converse with a wide range of ordinary Chinese citizens and scholars on the subject of international adoption. Dr. Changfu Chang will lead an audience discussion, following this 50 minute film.

Changfu Chang, a native of Jiangsu Province, China, is a professor at Millersville University of Pennsylvania teaching in the areas of television production and mass media.
