Query: Avoid this book

I wish I had read the online reviews before I tackled this book. I found the authors' description of their story to be especially dismaying. They didn't seem to respect their daughter- even made up a very disparaging song about her (and bodily functions) while they were in China. Very disappointing to see two college educated individuals be so close-minded and complaining about China. The husband's chapters become especially cumbersome- whenever I got to his sections all I could think of was, "What will he be complaining about now?" This book can be such a downer that it might sap the excitement out of you. I wonder how they are doing now. They did not seem cut out for parenthood at all.If you are considering adoption, there are many other really good books. Search under, "Adoption, China" on Amazon and check out some of the others.
