Too Fat for China

Too Fat for China follows Phoebe Potts, comic storyteller and self-described professional Jew, as she tries, fails, and ultimately succeeds to adopt a baby. After a U.S. adoption goes horribly wrong, Potts finds herself surprised, disgusted, and ultimately resigned to the role she plays as middle class white lady in the business of adopting babies internationally. Potts’ tragicomic journey is about looking for more — love, life, family — and she'll do anything to get it.
