In this fateful moment Evans became part of a profound, increasingly common human drama that links abandoned Chinese girls with foreigners who have traveled many miles to complete their families. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At once a compelling personal narrative and an evocative portrait of contemporary China, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Daughters of China\u003c\/i\u003e has also served as an invaluable guide for thousands of readers as they navigated the process of adopting from China. However, much has changed in terms of the Chinese government's policies on adoption since this book was originally published and in this revised and updated edition Evans addresses these developments. Also new to this edition is a riveting chapter in which she describes her return to China in 2000 to adopt her second daughter who was nearly three at the time. Many of the first girls to be adopted from China are now in the teens (China only opened its doors to adoption in the 1990s), and this edition includes accounts of their experiences growing up in the US and, in some cases, of returning to China in search of their roots. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Illuminating the real-life stories behind the statistics, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Daughters of China\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable account of the red thread that winds form China's orphanages to loving families around the globe.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKarin Evans, a former editor at \u003cb\u003eOutside\u003c\/b\u003e magazine, senior editor for \u003cb\u003eHealth\u003c\/b\u003e magazine, and senior editor for the San Francisco Examiner's \u003cb\u003eSunday\u003c\/b\u003e magazine, was a founding editor of \u003cb\u003eRocky Mountain Magazine\u003c\/b\u003e.
