Viewer Reviews Having worked for 28 years in child placement, and having created www.opendoption.org in 1996, I have seen and heard of a lot of adoption history. I have heard thousands of adoption stories. All of them are touched by the experiences described for the first time in a major movie in 1941 with Blossoms in the Dust. It is a true classic! Yes, there is a tremendous variety of adoption stories. Some may see "Blossoms in the Dust" and find it's relation of some adoption experiences as unrealistic compared to the ones they had. I am certain they are right. I am also just as certain that there are some touched by adoption that had experiences very similar to those in this classic. Adoption stores are as varied and different as is the human race. This movie hits the basics very well. To have been this sensitive and creative in 1941 was a powerful achievement. For adoption practice in 2009 this movie has powerful messages: Birth mothers never forget is probably the most central, and the damage done by secrets kept from the adoptee is probably the second most critical one present. If you are touched by adoption you owe it to everyone you know to get a copy of this classic and then invite the ones closest to you to watch it with you some quiet evening at home. Warn them that this movie is, as of 2009, 67 years old! They need to remember that as they work to translate the related experiences. It is worth the effort.
