An informative and touching resource for our children
Rating:
5 / 5
This book gives us an inside look at an orphanage in Hunan Province and a young girl's homeland trip. It is full of big, color photographs from inside an orphanage, which is such a rare treat. Our 2 1/2 yr-old loves this book and loves all the pictures of the babies and the nannies. When it comes time to talk with our daughter about other issues surrounding her adoption, this book will be a valuable resource. In Ying Ying's own voice we hear about the one-child policy, infant abandonment and adoption.
"Kids Like Me in China" is a great book for children adopted from China and their siblings, cousins and friends. It can help adoptive parents bring up topics that may be difficult for us. It is a must-have!
It sounds excellent!!!

By accident, i found this site! I am Chinese and my English teachers (They are a couple)were from the US. They also adopted a girl named Evie Xuezhi Braun from Changsha just the same city as Ying Ying.I was really moved by their adoptive actions when I heard they had no kids and wanna adopt a Chinese orphan. I can still remember the time they saw me off when I started for Shanghai to work there after my graduation.Evie was also there with her American Parents. I really wanna recommand this book to them. It sounds helpful to them and Evie. But we are all in China. I can't get the book~but I will tell them the name of this great book!! Thanks for your Americans' kindness!!! Many Thanks!!!
A must-read for families adopting from China

Ying Ying Fry has written a poignant book of her family's return visit to the orphanage where she spent the first months of her life. The book provides readers a unique opportunity to view life in a Chinese orphanage, as well as Ying Ying's own thoughts on being adopted, and the cultural reasons behind the abandonment of so very many babies, mostly females. The pictures are beautiful, and her writing is both honest and insightful. Besides being incredibly educational for adoptive parents, it is an ideal resource for introducing any child to the concept of international adoption. We are in the process of adopting a baby girl from the same orphanage featured in the book, which made it all the more touching for us to read. I look forward to sharing it with our daughter someday.
