compelling read |
As a mother of a toddler and an infant, I rarely have free time to curl up with a good book. But since I am exploring adopting from China, I decided to read as much as possible on the subject. I was definitely not disappointed with this book. I read it from cover to cover in 3 days during my sons' naps. I was enthralled by Karin Evans' descriptions of the sights, sounds and smells of China during her visit to pick up her daughter. The information she presents regarding China's one-child policy is both educational and heart-wrenching. She explores adoption from her point of view as well as the child's and birthmother's sides, which I found compelling. This is a "must read" for anyone considering adoption from China.

A must read for those adopting |
This book hit me deeply. My wife and I are in the process of adopting a little girl form China. This is a must read for anyone who will or has adopted from China. The author is brilliant in her own stories and does a wonderful job explaining culture and history related to women in China. I cried four or five times at some of the stories because they were written so beautifully.
"One girl peaceful and safe."
Wonderful book.

Compelling book, but not for everyone |
I read this book at the urging of my brother and sister in law before they adopted their daughter in China. While the material was fascinating, and the situation tragic, this is not a book for everyone.
To summarize this book, currently the Chinese government has restricted most of the country to a single child. Because the Chinese society places a higher value on boys than girls, thousands of baby daughters are being abandoned and placed up for adoption. Delving deeper and deeper into this tragedy, Lost Daughters of China is a thought provoking book worth the read. |
