De Afhaalchinees plot

More than forty thousand children have been adopted in the Netherlands. To the delight of parents who want to have children, but what is that like for the child? TV maker Kelly-Qian van Binsbergen opens the conversation about the consequences of intercountry adoption in this four-part documentary series. She delves into her own adoption for the first time and exposes the myths and misconceptions of the Dutch adoption system through personal stories, interviews with other adoptees, families and experts. Does the adoption fairy tale of gratitude, parental love and good intentions remain intact?

Impressive and occasionally shocking. Kelly-Qian van Binsbergen with her occasionally very personal document about what it is like to be adopted from a distant country, and she does not shy away from anything. The occasionally fragmentary style did not suit me very well at first, but after a while it turns out to be exactly the right choice. For example, Kelly-Qian's relationship with her father comes out well - endearing to see so much obvious love, despite what you learn about the four parts.

At the same time, it is really shocking how the authorities and the government fail sting after sting, and that would not be so bad if at least we learned from it. But you also have to look for that with a magnifying glass. The phenomenon of the desire to have children remains for me one of the greatest mysteries of modern society, and inextricably linked to it is how that same society so easily jumps to attention in its official appearance. Perhaps that has something to do with religion, perhaps it is the 'white saviour' syndrome. Anyway, yet another signal that we really need to get over this.
