Summary of China Ghosts: My Daughter's Journey to America, My Passage to Fatherhood

Aching to expand from a couple to a family, Jeff Gammage-a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer-and his wife, Christine, embarked upon a journey that would carry them across a shifting landscape of emotion and through miles of red tape and bureaucratic protocol. On the other side of the world-in the smog-choked city of Changsha in Hunan Province-a silent, stoic little girl was waiting for them: Jin Yu, their new daughter. Now they would have to learn how to fully embrace a life altered beyond recognition by new concerns and responsibilities-and by a love unlike any they'd ever felt before.

Alive with insight and feeling, China Ghosts is an eye-opening depiction of the foreign adoption process and a remarkable glimpse into a different culture. Most important, it is a poignant, heartfelt, and intensely intimate chronicle of the making of a family.
