Title: A good read
Review: The book "China's Lost Daughters" is part memoir part history lesson into the dynamics of American families adopting Chinese girls. Evans weaves her own adoption journey with the eco-socio-political environs of China. Her research is thorough, though I found first-hand snapshots of the society from the local Chinese lacking. Though she covered most aspects of the East-West adoption, there was no firsthand experiences from the mothers who gave up their daughters. Evans uses secondhand knowledge, from the workers at the orphanages and the Chinese adoption officials, and her imagination. The other aspect of the East-West adoption that is not addressed is the effect on the adopted girls who are only grade school age. The limitations of the book are due to its purpose as a public memoir for her daughter.
