Has your life ever taken an unexpected detour? Director Karen Skloss reunites with her biological mother to tell a personal story about Adoption and life as a single mother, while grappling with the definition of family. Young, pregnant, single, and unprepared, Skloss struggles with incredible ironies — that history has repeated itself and that efforts to protect family can sometimes do the most harm.

SUNSHINE premieres May 4, 2010 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Maggie Gyllenhaal, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.

We’re Dave and Jen and we are hoping to become first-time parents by adopting a baby through open Adoption. We live in Orlando, FL, and have been married for almost 12 years. We live in a quiet, kid friendly neighborhood with excellent schools. We enjoy watching shuttle launches from our backyard and playing at Disney on the weekends. Jen works in communications. Dave is a carpenter. Dave’s family was built through adoption.

This video is our prospective adoptive parent video profile and shows a glimpse into our life together.

We are home study approved and working through A Chosen Child agency in Orlando, Florida.
