We are proud to post this comic. This is one of three comics that was commissioned by Somewhere Between a documentary film. We were asked to create comic around the theme of “Language” and this is what we came up with =).

“SOMEWHERE BETWEEN examines what it is like to come-of-age as a trans-racial adoptee in today’s America, as seen through the eyes of four of the 79,562 adopted girls from China. Through the voices of these young women, we will see not just their lives, but our own, reflected back to us – whether we are adoptive families or not. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN will start a dialogue about what we see, who we are, and the changing face of the American family.”

Linda wrote for the Adopted the Comic September 2010 Newsletter #2:

“The reason we wanted to commission the comics for the documentary is because they use HUMOR…and so brilliantly.  As Jessica said to me when we first met – she hoped that my film wouldn’t be all unicorns and rainbows in regards to examining the topic of adoption…but also not all dark and tormented…”

We would love to congratulate Somewhere Between for their success so far in the many film festivals they’ve been a part of this year and can’t wait for them to have a wider international screening/distribution *hint hint wink wink from the uk* =P.
