Hi Eric,

I find it very interesting that you and your wife have an adopted daughter from China.
It certainly wasn't easy to get her from there, especially coming from a Western industrialized country like Western Europe or even America.
Because it also means that she was born during the one-child policy in China.

I heard about it in school (when I was still living in Europe).
I forgot about it again until about two months ago when I saw a film I loved (Kung Fu in Rome).

That reminded me of my history lessons from 5th or 6th grade in elementary school.
I also heard back then that Chinese families, who valued boys more highly than girls.
It was alleged that sometimes firstborn daughters were given up for adoption, so that the family could later try again to produce a male heir.

It made me sad when I heard about it, for many reasons.

Your daughter is about four years older than I am.
I hope she's found happiness.

But I have my doubts when I think about the circumstances that led to so many rejections back then.
She probably often thinks about her biological mother, who certainly didn't give her up as willingly as one might think.

I truly hope she's found happiness.
Best regards,
Sahra
