Bryan and Angela Tucker, the creators of the documentary Closure, have launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their newest project, The Adopted Life Episodes. In the series, Angela will sit down with transracially adopted youth to bring awareness to a variety of complex issues. Now through the end of National Adoption Month, your donation to the Kickstarter campaign will help give viewers the rare opportunity to gain firsthand perspective from adoptees and let adopted youth know they are not alone.
