“Sometimes in the African American community, it’s really unfortunate that many times we don’t really get involved,” Moore told rolling out during a recent interview. “Sometimes, we believe the children who are promoted to adoption have so many issues.

The documentary takes a look at Moore’s adoption journey from the time he was 3 months old to the time he met his biological family for the first time as an adult.
“Man, it’s the best documentary that the world is ever going to see as it pertains to adoption,” Moore said. “If you watch me on Instagram, Facebook, you know I’m the guy that likes to entertain. I’m a master storyteller. I just took what we do verbally and I was able to put it in film form.”
