(An excerpt from the book)
Note from the Author…
It was once expressed to me that the Chinese believe certain people are simply meant to be together and that they are always and forever connected by an invisible red thread. This is understood by those of us who adopt, for somehow we find our children and just know our souls belong together.
When I arrived in China to take my baby home, a beautiful woman presented her to me and pointed out that my little girl was very lucky. She was wearing a tiny silver bracelet that had been gently tied to her wrist with a single red thread. To me, this was a message to my daughter, to carry forever in her heart. It was a symbol of love someone felt for her, and a bond she will always and forever have. The story of Little China Moonshine transpired from that thread and from my desire to have my daughter feel a connection to her birthmother, her country, and it’s people.
It is possible for every adopted child to regard their beginning in a positive way by encouraging them to choose a perspective that is empowering. This story achieves that affect, in a very magical way.
