The White Swan Express: Four Different Tales of Chinese Adoptions!
Though this book came out in 2002 and much has changed in the world of international adoption, (the Hague Convention Intercountry Adoption Treaty was accepted in the US in 2008), there is still much to admire in this richly woven tale of adoption...

Immediately then we hear about 4 couples or persons who are all going to travel to China to adopt these babies. A Story About Adoption. Jean Davies Okimoto and Elaine M. Aoki's The White Swan Express. Right away the story starts out telling us about 4 different babies in China that are sleeping in their crib together. They hail from diverse corners of North America and diverse economic, ethnic and family social structures....
