North Carolina Adoption Story

Family adds a little sister from China
Parents went across the world for 2-year-old
One of Waxhaw's newest residents has traveled a long way to get here.

A little less than three months ago, 2-year-old Molly White was adopted in Yang Xi, Guangdong Province, China and brought home to Waxhaw. Her new parents, Donna and Densel White, got to introduce the newest addition to their three other children, Erica, 13, Lexie, 9, and brother Ian, 6, on May 27.

It may have seemed like a long trip to Molly, but for her new mom and dad the journey started about a year earlier.

When the Whites decided to adopt internationally, they chose China because of the country's reputation for smooth adoptions. Donna had heard that many Eastern European nations had much longer processing times and required two visits to the country, compared with one for China.
