I'm creating a book list for myself and my fellow adopters. I'm looking for recommendations for any great books having to do with China, China Adoption, Attachment & Bonding, New mom, Parenting, and cute kid books. Pretty much anything goes. This list will be a work in progress and I've linked it to my Links on the right. Please leave any recommendations in my comment section. Thanks. Stephe
I have a large list already started but don't know where I put it... more to come...

Hey Stephe! I love checking out your blog.
I've read Wild Swans by Jung Chung and Red Azalea by Ancee Min. Both give a nice overview of life in China in during Mao Zedong's rule.

There's a yahoo group called:
China_Adoption_Library that has a great list, and actually everyone contributes their reviews on books introduced to the group.

Daughter Of The River by Hong Ying is an excellent book. It is an autobiography written by a woman born in 1962 (same year as me so it really gave me perspective on her living conditions). She lived in Chongqing, where my daughter is from, so it was very meaningful to me.

For children, Families Are Forever is a wonderful book (the story is told by the child of a single mom). Makes me cry every time :)
