Book Reviews of The Lost Daughters of China
Book Review: Excellent adoption story and cultural lesson
Summary: 4 Stars
This book does a fantastic job of telling Karin Evans' adoption story. More importantly, it tells of all of the historical and cultural reasons that girls are abandoned, or "Lost", in China.
This book is an excellent resource and a must read for people, like me, who are in the process of or have recently completed an International adoption in China. I received answers to many questions that I had and I'm sure my new daughter will have as she gets older.
Book Review: The Lost Daughters of China
Summary: 5 Stars
So interesting and helpful. The author did a wonderful job sharing her own story and including Chinas history of abandonment.Book Review: A must for any family that has adopted
Summary: 5 Stars
How can you sum up the importance of this book except to say that as one who has a beautiful adopted daughter from China, the author and I have walked the same path, asked ourselves the same questions and feel the same joys and pains that go with the successes of adopting. A story beautifully told that helps us all understand the life of our daughters before they came to us, why they were available for us and how to answer so many of the questions that we have and what our daughters will be asking. I tip my hat to a job well done amid many tears. Thank you for putting into words what so many of us cannot.Book Review: Terrific Book for anyone considering adopting
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a terrific mix of a personal account of an adoption as well as a primer on the circumstances that have led to some many girls in China needing homes. Book Review: compelling read
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
