Chinese author Xinran on their Lost Daughters

Xinran said, "Meeting American adoptees in 2006 helped me decide to write this book. I met adoptees of all different ages, but they all asked me the same question: “Why did my Chinese mother give me up?” When an adoptee finishes the book, I hope they will understand a little more about their secret mothers, especially the challenges these mothers had to fight against their government, their families, and even themselves to have to give up their daughters."

It's important to think of adoptees and first mothers as one large group, spanning all boundaries and ethnic lines. We are not divided in the adoption experience.
