Anyone watching "Faces of America"?

Has anyone been watching the fascinating series "Faces of America" on PBS with Henry Louis Gates Jr? Henry said, "Where do I come from? It's the most basic human question there is."

And after watching the reactions of his guests as he reveals their ancestors, the profound effect it has on each on of them, I wonder, how can anyone NOT get that as adoptees, we too have that most basic of human questions. "Where did I come from?"

    I am not adopted, and I wonder this. I hope to be able to provide my adopted child as much information as I can. Unfortunately, not much information is available, since the birth mother is not responding to our requests.
