China Ghosts: My Daughter's Journey to America, My Passage to Fatherhood ReviewAlthough I'm not yet a parent myself, Jeff Gammage's memoir of adopting his daughters from China moved me to think that having a child, whether a biological one or an adopted one, is an experience I really don't want to miss. It was especially refreshing to hear a story like this told from the dad's point of view --- a perspective we don't often hear. As a former coworker of Jeff's at the Philadelphia Inquirer, I recognized and appreciated the thoughtful and sensitive approach he brings to every subject he reports. The details of his trip to adopt Jin Yu are dramatic and touching. I liked the fact that Jeff and his wife recognized the loss their daughter experienced and decided to keep her name instead of giving her an Americanized one --- after all, as he's said, it's the one thing she didn't have to give up in leaving China.China Ghosts: My Daughter's Journey to America, My Passage to Fatherhood Overview

Three Names of Me ReviewThis book was very appropriate for our family. My daughter is 7 years old, and I adopted her from China when she was 10 months. She is very curious about her origins, including her birth mom. This book directly addresses the fact that in addition to a Chinese name and, in many cases, a newly given name when adopted, you also have a third name which was "whispered" by your birth mom. So my only caveat would be to read this book before reading it with your child to be sure that you are both ready to deal with the questions and emotions that are surely to follow.Three Names of Me Overview

D is for Dancing Dragon: A China Alphabet (Discover the World) ReviewI have about 3 or 4 of these Chinese Alphabet books and this book is a definately up there as an awesome book about China A through Z with lots of interesting facts that some books do not have. I actually learned several new facts that I had not know prior. The way this book was done allows for the book to grow with your child as they grow. There is a picture representing the letter which I believe is done in oil paint and a few sentences of information. Then if you look to the left hand side of the page there is much more detailed information.
Here is a break down of each letter. I hope this is helpful to you.
A - Acrobats ( showing Lion dancers)
B - Bejing ( shows the Forbidden City, Summer Palace)
C - Chopsticks
D - Dragon Dance
E - Ehru pronounced Ay-roo ( an old musical instrument that only has 2 strings) this page also talks about the Chinese instruments.
F- " Four Treasures of Study - brush, ink, paper and ink stone used for Calligraphy which is a must for every child to begin to learn since the Chinese language has no alphabet but characters that are for each word.
G - Great Wall
H - Himalayan Mountain range & Mount Everest
I- Inventions - paper printing, compass, abacus, wheelbarrow & fireworks
J - Jasmine Flower
K - Kites & dough
L - Lanterns ( also talks about the fifteenth day of the Spring festival marking the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations which is the Lantern Festival.
M - Mongolians
N - Chinese New Year
O - Opera & shadow puppets
P - Giant Pandas
Q - Qin Terra-Cotta Warriors
R - Rice Paddies and terraces
S - Silk Road
T - Transportation
U - Umbrella
V - Vegetables
W - Wok
X - Xie, Xie Mandarin for THANK YOU ( pronounced She-eh She-eh)
Y - Yangtze River
Z - Chinese Zodiac ( painted to look like paper cuts of the 12 animals)D is for Dancing Dragon: A China Alphabet (Discover the World) Overview

Made in China: A Story of Adoption ReviewI think this book is wonderful for families like ours that have both biological children and children adopted from China. It's a very sweet story and I liked the fact that it's daddy talking to his little girl. Most adoption books only have mom, and this one shows a family with dad, mom, and an older sister. It's very honest and very sweet. Daddy says "Sweetheart, you're not made like a toy. You were "Made in China" to bring us joy." The book also talks about the child's birthmom in China, in simple and positive language. Overall a must have for all families with adopted children.Made in China: A Story of Adoption Overview

The Good Women of China : Hidden Voices ReviewRiveting anecdotes from ordinary women in China who usually go unheard or supressed in the public forum and unnoticed in history. Their experiences are all the more shocking because they're not intended to be--the pain, waste, sadness and sacrifice in their lives underscore the turmoil of China's recent past and volatile present. For students of China, and anyone visiting or doing business with China, as well as for avid readers of all persuasions, READ THIS BOOK NOW, and keep a watchful eye on developments in China. I had frankly decided to read no more of the 'my-family-suffered-in-China-and-I-survived' books (of which there are so many excellent ones), but when I heard Xinran in a TV interview describe how she came to write this book, I became curious. When I started reading it, I couldn't put it down except to dry my tears.

I would also recommend: Kristof and Wudunn's CHINA WAKES; Anchee Min's RED AZALEA; Adeline Yen Mah's FALLING LEAVES; Jung Chang's WILD SWANS; Mo Yan's RED SORGHUM; Dai Sijie's BALZAC AND THE LITTLE CHINESE SEAMSTRESS; and anything by Ha Jin.The Good Women of China : Hidden Voices Overview
