What is it like to find out that your parents bought you? Taking a child from an orphanage, giving them love, care and a sense of security is a good decision. But what if you don’t want the baby to know that they are adopted? In the 90s, this problem was easy to solve – illegal adoption. For money, parents were listed on certificates as biological. Our heroes are people who, as adults, found out that their parents were not biological, and now they are looking for answers to questions about their origins. How long can you hide the truth from “your” child and how can it instantly destroy a fragile world built on love and trust? Watch our film “Where Did the Children Disappear?” and you will find out how the black market for selling children works in Georgia, how children are illegally adopted and how many people are now looking for their real parents.
