Wanting a Daughter, Needing a Son: Abandonment, Adoption, and Orphanage Care in China
by Kay Ann Johnson and Amy Klatzkin

From the publisher: Johnson untangles the complex interactions between these social practices and the government’s population policies. She also documents the many unintended consequences, including the overcrowding of orphanages that led China to begin international adoptions. Those touched by adoption from China want to know why so many healthy infant girls are in Chinese orphanages. This book provides the most thorough answer to date. Johnson’s research overturns stereotypes and challenges the conventional wisdom on abandonment and adoption in modern China.

An Empty Lap : One Couple's Journey to Parenthood
By Jill Smolowe

"I really liked 'An Empty Lap' by Jill Smolowe.  It not only talks about the author's Chinese adoption, but also about her battle with infertility and all of the emotions that goes along with it.  I didn't start reading until after we had decided to adopt, but I wish I would have read it while we were going through infertility ourselves.  As I was reading it, I kept saying, 'That's exactly how I felt!'  Happy reading."
