China's Stolen Children and a Story of Separated Twins 

In 2000, a Chinese woman gave birth to twins in a bamboo grove, trying to avoid detection by the government because she already had two daughters. Two years later, an American couple travelled to Shaoyang to adopt a Chinese toddler they thought had been abandoned. Their understanding had been that China's brutal one-child policy was leading to hundreds of abandoned girls, desperate for the care of adopted parents.

What they didn't know - and what award-winning journalist Barbara Demick uncovered in 2007, while working as a correspondent in Beijing - was that their daughter had been snatched from her beloved family and her identical twin. Under China's one-child policy hundreds of poor Chinese were giving up their children due to soaring fines and threats of violence. More sinister still, international demand for adoptees was sky-rocketing, and local officials were forcibly seizing children and trafficking them to orphanages, who were selling them abroad.

Daughters of the Bamboo Grove tells the gripping story of separated twins, their respective fates in China and the USA, and Barbara Demick's role in reuniting them against huge odds. Painting a rich portrait of China's history and culture, it asks questions about the roots, impact and consequences of China's one-child policy, the ethics of international adoption, and, ultimately, the assumptions and narratives we hold about the quality of lives lived in the East and the West.

Less Stress
I’ve been taking these each morning for about 2 months now and have noticed a significant decrease in my stress and anxiety during work hours. They also taste great compared to other vegan gummies

Great Addition to My Daily Routine
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Excellent Quality MCT Oil — Great Addition to My Daily Routine I purchased this MCT Oil and have been very pleased with it. It is light, smooth, and easy to add to my daily routine without changing the taste of my food or drinks. I especially like that it mixes well in coffee, tea, smoothies, and even oatmeal. It does not have a strong flavor or unpleasant aftertaste, which makes it very convenient to use every day. Overall, I would definitely recommend this MCT Oil to anyone looking for an easy way to add healthy fats to their diet. It is high quality, easy to use, and a great value for the price. I would purchase it again.
