It has been my dream to film adoptees around the world. After almost four years of being unable to travel after being diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, discovering I am BRCA 2 +, undergoing aggressive treatment and surgery to save my life, embarking on a family birth search to uncover my family health history, finding out from a brain scan that I have a brain tumor (mengionoma), and having the gamma knife done to hopefully kill the tumor, I was finally well enough to travel outside of the states again.
On this magical trip to Ireland with my husband, I was able to connect with an Irish adoptee, who was willing to share her story with me. She is one of the strongest women I know, her indomitable spirit will inspire everyone.
Bear witness to her incredible story, where she bravely explores her adoption story with us and how she has been able to heal from the traumatic events that unfolded in her life. Through all of her pain and suffering, she was able to find purpose and continues to help as many adoptees in Ireland as she can search for answers and be connected with their families. She fights for adoptee rights. She fights for adoptee voices to be heard and our trauma recognized.
I hope everyone will fight for adoptee rights on a global scale. We should know our families, we should have access to our original birth certificate, we should know our medical history.
Thank you so much for watching and I hope you will share with others,
Shelby Redfield Kilgore,
Korean Adoptee Filmmaker
