Wanting a Daughter, Needing a Son

Kay Ann Johnson

This author has done groundbreaking research on abandonment and adoption in China. In this book, Johnson untangles the complex interactions between these social practices and the government's population policies. She also documents the many unintended consequences, including the overcrowding of orphanages that led China to begin international adoptions.
