In 2015, Leigh Anne explained how the film was still impacting her life. “We’re five years removed from the movie and nothing has died down,” she told the Sioux City Journal. She showed off her interior design skills on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and gave several speeches in the United States about topics including racism and adoption. She noted: “It’s mind-boggling. We realize we do have a mission. We have the opportunity to change lives. If that sounds narcissistic, screw it. Racism is alive and well in this country; we have to learn how to love someone who doesn’t look like us.”
