Due to cultural social and economic factors traditional Chinese preference leans toward boys so girls are often hidden aborted or abandoned. As a result tens of thousands of girls end up in orphanages across China. Today more than one quarter of all babies adopted from abroad by American families come from China. Lisa Ling joins some of these families as they travel to China to meet their new daughters for the first time. Along this emotional journey she shares in the joy of these growing families and also witnesses firsthand China's gender gap its roots and its possible repercussions.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

Fantastic
Fantastic story. Lisa Ling as a journalist is far better than as an actor. If you watch this, you'll be even more impressed with Ling's documentary in Nepal.

China's Lost Girls
It is a great story about the Chinese Law about the one child rule and how many want boys, leaving many girls in orphanges.

excellent resource
This documentary is an excellent resource for those who are considering adopting from China. I wish it was longer, but there is only so much detail they can fit into a 40 min documentary.

Heart-warming video!
Excellent video for those embarking on the adoption journey to China. My wife and I were both crying - but they were tears of joy!

China's Lost Girls
This video was very eye opening on the plight of China's orphans especially girls. It is informative, insightful and tastefully presented.
