Scott Simon has written a beautiful version of the adoption of his two daughters. He and his wife, Caroline, tell us their story of adoption of Chinese baby girls, and the process most people go through to adopt their children.
Scott and his wife married later in life, found that they were unable to have a baby the traditional way. They tried all of the various methods of conception and nothing seemed to work. They looked at each other one day and said “there are so many babies looking for parents, let’s go find ours.” This led them to friends who had adopted and finally to China. Scott Simon tells the adoption stories of some of his friends, and they are poignant.
