This subject has been visited at least half a dozen times in the past few months. After all it doesn't really matter who is adopted because in the real family there were NO adopted kids in the North family. Helen gave birth to all her kids, just as Frank's wife gave birth to all their kids too. The only adoption that took place in the real family is that the real Helen adopted Frank's 10 kids and the real Frank adopted Helen's 8 kids so they ended up legally one family.
Well "she" is wrong! Obviously she never bothered to find out who was her character's real kids and who were her character's adopted kids.
I researched this movie from the very begining, before they even started filming, and I followed it thought all the way, and I read everything on the official website.
THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE SAYS:
Helen's adopted kids are Dylan (16), Naoko (14), Jimi (11), Lau (9), and Marisa & Bina (8)
Helen's natural kids are Phoebe (17), Mick (12), Joni (10) and Aldo (4).

I found the information over 3 years ago when the movie came out. I wrote it down and kept it. I did not mark where I found the information except that I KNOW it came from the official website.
