The title sums it up. This is a DIARY of an extended vacation in China. The US author adopts a Chinese girl - one of the first Chinese adoptions. Now that Lulu is 4, the author takes her back to her birth area, which she believes is Wuhu (Lulu was abandoned near a police station in Wuhu and taken to the orphanage there). Daily account of what they saw and did. Interesting point for the author - for the first time, SHE is the minority and her daughter fits in. And she calls out that turn of events in her story. ( )

I enjoyed reading about this little family's journey to the adopted child's place of birth.The child was a delight, a truely trusting, loving soul. ( )

The story of a woman and her adopted child returning to the childs roots. This mother returns to the town her baby is from when the child is almost 5. They stay in China for about 2 months. To complicate matters, this is in the time frame when the USA bombs the Chinese Embassy. A very heart warming story full of ups and downs as the mother tries to gain access to the orphanage and her child's file. How I envy this mother the ability to go to China for such an extended stay and search. Worth buying. ( )
